Instead, you need to realize that it is because God loves you that He hates divorce. What loving God could possibly want or even enjoy watching you go through so much pain and difficulty?
As a Christian, you seek to live your life in accordance with God's will. God gave us His Word, the Holy Scriptures, which are God-breathed and infallible as our source of His Will. God's Word, the Bible, can teach you, provide understanding, give you direction and correction, and bring you comfort, hope and encouragement.

can you forgive?
Are you feeling like there is no hope? Like the pain is so deep, it is as though someone has taken the heart out of your chest, thrown it on the ground and stomped on it over and over again?
