The only reason God hates divorce is because of what it does to us.

For many people, divorce has occurred in their lives. Are they doomed to experience less than a good life because of their failed marriage? Are they stuck with living in an inferior “Plan B” world because God doesn’t like what they have done?

God does not reserve his love only for those who follow His intended “Plan A” (and aren’t we glad of that, because every one of us has stepped outside of God’s “Plan A” for our lives in different areas). We have a God who is in the business of restoring relationships. God may hate divorce because of how it tears apart what He has put together (Malachi 2:16), but He is always ready to forgive and receive us back into fellowship with Him. He never abandons us. He never quits on us. He never gives up on us.

“Since they are no longer two but one, let no one separate them, for God has joined them together.”

Matthew 19:6
