you said “Aside from abuse, addiction, and abandonment, there is no justification for divorce.”

None of those three are found in the Bible. The one that is justification for divorce is fornication.You never even mention that one. Mat 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

That was a tough one for me. My wife and I were both divorced before. We had both been abandoned by our spouses when we met, about 15 years ago.

Wonder if we are forgiven.

If a person is willing to abuse you, he may be willing to kill you.

If a person has an addiction problem, generally speaking, getting that high is all that matters to him.

If a person has abandoned the marriage, he doesn’t consider himself married to you. There is no relationship to speak of

Are you really willing to stay married to a person who is willing to kill you, financially destroy you, or not be in a relationship at all with you?
