You basically have to cheat on someone for that divorce to happen. Thats apparently the only legal case for divorce. However… it does seem to say you can’t remarry either for morality reasons. So its technically allowed, but then at same time not really.
Matthew 5:32
32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
However. Jesus wants us to love each other. So basically, one has to respect each other and love each other. So that people don’t go astray
Ephesians 5:21-33
21Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her26to make her holy, cleansing[a]her by the washing with water through the word,27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.29After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—30for we are members of his body.31“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[b]32This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.33However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Seems, like double standards, while Matrimony is the Sacrament which sanctifies the contract of a Christian marriage, and gives a special grace to those who receive it worthily.
Matrimony. The contract or agreement by which marriage is blessed and made holy and pleasing to God.The matter consists of the mutual giving up of the contracting parties to each other. The form consists of the words and outward signs by which the man and woman accept each other as husband and wife.
Increases habitual grace and helps parents to bear the burdens and difficulties of the marriage state and bring up their children in a Christian manner. ln speaking of marriage, our Lord said: ‘What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder’. (Matt. 19:6) raised to the dignity of a Sacrament at the marriage-feast at Cana.Gn 2:18-25, Mt 19:1-9, Mk 10:2-12,Rom 7:2-3, 1 Cor 7:1-24 No human power can dissolve the bond of marriage, because Christ has said: ‘What God has joined together, let not man put asunder’. Matt. 19:6
Human power. The power of man, like that used in a divorce court, which may be allowed by the law of the land, but is certainly forbidden by the law of God.The claim that the indissoluble marriage bond validly entered into between a man and a woman is broken. A civil dissolution of the marriage contract divorce does not free persons from a valid marriage before God; remarriage would not be morally licit.
Jesus’ words makes sense. I think it means, if your heart doesn’t love each other. Then one lives in sin. So one seperates that way. However the intended purpose is to live for another, and mutually give to each other.
Ephesians 5:28 In the same way, husbands should love their wives as they do their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.well but don’t your think in Jermaine 17:9 heart is devious above all else;it is perverse who can understand it? . Our hearts are not in our control ,Well keeping the commandments are important and they are not burdensome 1 John 5:3 burdensome.
As long as they don’t sin ,it’s ok to separate for a while if they cannot get along this doesn’t mean divorce is permissible,1 Corinthians 7:2 But because of cases of sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
Viewing Marriage as a contract is the problem in my opinion. Marriage, properly understood is a Covenant. For a better understanding of covenant, I recommend Dr. Scott Hahn’s book, “A Father Who Keeps His Promises.”
Your right,we have to view it as a whole prospective,not just in contract basis ,since marriage is not only a sacrament ,but a covenant ,contract and much more when they say I do ,they consent to one another in mutual self giving.quote from. The CCC
Matrimonial Consent
1625 The parties to a marriage covenant are a baptized man and woman, free to contract marriage, who freely express their consent; “to be free” means: - not being under constraint; - not impeded by any natural or ecclesiastical law.
1626 The Church holds the exchange of consent between the spouses to be the indispensable element that "makes the marriage."125 If consent is lacking there is no marriage.
1627 The consent consists in a “human act by which the partners mutually give themselves to each other”: “I take you to be my wife” - "I take you to be my husband."126 This consent that binds the spouses to each other finds its fulfillment in the two "becoming one flesh."127
1628 The consent must be an act of the will of each of the contracting parties, free of coercion or grave external fear.128 No human power can substitute for this consent.129 If this freedom is lacking the marriage is invalid.
1629 For this reason (or for other reasons that render the marriage null and void) the Church, after an examination of the situation by the competent ecclesiastical tribunal, can declare the nullity of a marriage, i.e., that the marriage never existed.130 In this case the contracting parties are free to marry, provided the natural obligations of a previous union are discharged.131
