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. Again, as Christians we must be understanding.
Some people make horrendous mistakes in choosing a marriage partner.
To remain in their marriage for life means they may suffer. Things will never be as they might have been. But those who obey Jesus can walk through their pain and deprivation with One who is intimately acquainted with human sorrows. Jesus can bear the yoke with them. And He can turn their wrecked lives into powerful messages of His grace and goodness.
