He tried it again when he disobeyed God's directions concerning Amalek. There are other options for those who are willing to look in faith to God. Furthermore, we serve a God who can part the seas, who can calm the storm, who can raise up and cast down, who holds the power of life and death, and who takes the cause of the meek, the poor, and the needy as His very own. Those who divorce because they believe they have no other choice are not acting in faith. Unfortunately, they are shutting their lives off from the blessing and help of heaven and turning instead to the ways and methods of man.
People justify divorce by listening to popular, humanistic psychology.
We are taught by humanistic thinking today that personal satisfaction is everyone's right. Everybody deserves the privilege of living as happily and as free from trouble as possible, and everybody deserves the chance to develop his own inherent potential to the full. Nobody should have to live with a scoundrel the rest of his life just because of a hasty, immature decision. We could wish that Christians would not succumb to such thinking. In reality, however, some unwitting persons buy it in full, and others are influenced by it far too much.
