“In my opinion, only God can truly answer this question.”

He did: “He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.” Matt. 19:8-9.

There’s a reason the Holy Spirit preserved that particular statement of God the Son. Parse, ignore it, read things into, dismiss it as an anachronism contrary to “the felt necessities of our time”, etc., at your own peril.

Well said.

There are lots of people with lots of different rules about marriage and divorce. Just another opportunity to find out whose disciples they really are.
