God hates divorce(?)

Many people are familiar with Malachi 2:16, which says, “God hates divorce.”  I think a lot of people put up with a bad relationship because they think that staying in the relationship is keeping God happy.  They sleep in separate beds, take separate vacations, have separate money, and so on, and they think God is happy because they aren’t divorced.

Consider this.  The Old Testament, including Malachi, was written in ancient Hebrew.  the word commonly translated as divorce in Malachi 2:16 actually means to put away, send away, or separate.  This certainly includes divorce but is not limited to divorce.  What this tells me is that God doesn’t just hate divorce.  He hates the whole process in which a married couple drifts apart, falls out of love, and decides to divorce — He doesn’t hate just the even itself.

So, what should we do?  We should make sure our marriage stays strong.  We should make sure our love stays alive.  We should honor the marriage covenant that we have with our spouse by making them the number one person in our lives second only to God.  We should love our spouse.  

Don’t allow separation to enter into your relationship.
