Divorce and remarriage are common in today's society. According to the American Psychological Association, about 40-50% of first marriages end in divorce. And, of those who divorce, about half will remarry.

The Bible has a lot to say about divorce and remarriage. In this book, we will take a look at the biblical view of divorce and remarriage, and offer guidance for those who are considering divorce or remarriage.

The Biblical View of Divorce

The Bible teaches that marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman. It is a commitment that is meant to last a lifetime. However, the Bible also recognizes that there are some circumstances in which divorce is permitted.

The only biblical ground for divorce is sexual immorality (Matthew 19:9). This includes adultery, fornication, and incest. If one spouse commits sexual immorality, the other spouse is free to divorce him or her.

However, the Bible does not encourage divorce. In fact, it teaches that marriage should be preserved whenever possible. Jesus said, "What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate" (Matthew 19:6).

The Biblical View of Remarriage

The Bible also has something to say about remarriage. After a divorce, the Bible teaches that a person is free to remarry. However, there are some restrictions.

First, the Bible teaches that a person cannot remarry his or her former spouse if that spouse has remarried someone else (Matthew 19:9). This is because the marriage covenant is still in effect.

Second, the Bible teaches that a person cannot remarry if he or she is still married to his or her first spouse. This is because the marriage covenant is still in effect.
