Day 326. Is divorce ever permitted? (2024)

Today is day 326 and we are studying The Seventh Commandment.

326. Is divorce ever permitted?

The New Testament permits divorce in some cases; however, out of love for his people, God hates divorce because it severs what he has joined, causes immeasurable pain, and destroys family life. (Matthew 5:31–32; 19:7–9; 1 Corinthians 7:10–16)

We will conclude today by praying Prayer 42. For the Human Family found on page 659 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
