Mach 21st: Mark 10:1-12: Marriage and Divorce

In this passage Jesus teaches on marriage. He emphasizes that marriage is a covenant, meaning an unbreakable promise. He is essentially teaching that divorce is wrong. When we look at scriptures teachings on marriage we quickly realize that divorce is not an option for Christians except for in the cases of unfaithfulness. Even in the case of unfaithfulness there should still be a desire for reconciliation on the part of the innocent party. Marriage is supposed to be forever and we should go into marriage recognizing this, not thinking well if it doesn't work out I can always get a divorce.
