Catholics is it written in the Bible we can divorce?

What does the Catholic Church teach about divorce?

Since divorce is so common these days (about 50% of married couples get divorced) it's important for people to know what the Church teaches.

First and foremost the Catholic Church does not believe in divorce. In fact a true, sacramental marriage is impossible to dissolve thereby making divorce impossible.

In marriage, the two become one flesh in a union joined by God, (Mark 10:8)

Jesus speaks about divorce: "Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate," (Mark 10:9). So for a marriage that truly took place before God, divorce is impossible.

Marriage directly parallels our relationship with God. God is 100% faithful in his relationship with us those who choose to get married are called to the same faithfulness.

What about if one spouse is abusive or unfaithful?

There are some cases where living together has become too difficult or practically impossible. The Church permits a physical separation of the spouses and living apart, but the two still remain married.

"The Christian community is called to help these persons live out their situation in a Christian manner and in fidelity to their marriage bond which remains indissoluble," (CCC 1649).

Roman Catholics have different views from protestants and believe that divorce is wrong. You can however get your marriage annulled if you can prove that it never existed. This does not mean Catholics do not get divorce however. I have attached a link that i have just found that gives you more info on the subject.

It is written many places in the Bible that God hates divorce prominently in Malachi 2:16 wherein it stands in violation of the below:

"Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." —Matthew 19:6

Illicit relationship can nullify a wedding contract (Matt 5:32) but it cannot be termed as divorce. When nullified, the person guilty for the nullification of the marriage cannot re-marry as he/she may do the same in her next marriage. And if he/she does marry, you stand to commit adultery

Marriage is a life long commitment, a vocation. If a person should divorce, they must live as single. They must not marry another because in the eyes of God they are still married to one another until death. When you get married you become one. Two becomes one, a unit. When you divorce you are cutting a unit in half. From that unit you bring forth children and this affect the children. So when you marry be very sure that you want to live the rest of your life with this person. No matter what. If you divorce, you must live single until your spouse is gone. You can however, go through an annulment through the church, but not all annulments are accepted by this process. It goes to a tribunal and they decide. God bless you.

Yes it is in the bible about divorce. So you can but rules come with it.

If your spouse says "I have fallen out of love with you" don't panic. It doesn't mean your marriage is over. It doesn't even mean they don't love you. How to get your spouse to love you again https://tr.im/o3hZz

What it does mean is that your spouse has lost their way, or doesn't understand the many stages love and a relationship goes through.

You are being called to take charge of the situation, guide your spouse towards understanding this process, and even begin to rekindle your relationship.

The key to success is in understanding what is happening in your marriage and the role that love plays. It's very easy for us to connect losing the feelings of being in love with actual loving when it is not really the case.

It's a good plan, but it's not a perfect loophole by any stretch. Even if you make sure that she can't divorce you after you start getting some on the side, there's no quotes in the bible about her not making your life a living hell.

Yes the marriage becomes invalid if a man or a woman married for as its against the bible and the laws of God. God only join a man and woman together that are holy and with the Holy Spirit. We are human as not as smart as God.

Its like baptizing a person that does not accept or believe in Jesus, its would be invalid. Understand? God does not join a man who as living in the gay world to be married to a woman.

You are right. Which is exactly why Christ's Church does not recognize divorce in the case of any valid sacramental marriage. Of course marriages that are nothing more than civil contracts can be undone by civil decree like any other civil contract. But what God has joined together, no human being can separate.

Jesus makes an exception to his hard rule against divorce "except for reason of adultery." Note, however, he specifically talks about the wife's adultery.

Matthew 5:32: "But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery."

Thus, there are no grounds for generalizing this specific exception of the wife's adultery to "a partner having sex outside of marriage." Jesus knew that God made us male and female, and a wife's adultery is more damaging to marriage than the husband's, because she can become pregnant with another man's child.

This grates on modern ears, schooled in the equality of the sexes. However, man and woman play different roles in marriage, and sexually, the woman has greater responsibility for fidelity because of her emotional and biological role. A man's adultery is terribly damaging, but a woman's adultery is fatal.

And you ask Questions to Catholic only because...?

Yes, Bible says we can divorce because of adultery.

Matthew 5:32 (King James Version)

32But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife (divorce), saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
