Divorce And Remarriage

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

The issue is not whether divorce is good or bad, for everyone agrees it is a bad thing to happen. It is never the best, and it always indicates failure on the part of two people.

Divorce, like death, is an unpleasant reality that we have to deal with because it won't ignore us. In one way or another it forces its way into our lives. If we are fortunate enough to have no friends, neighbors, or loved ones caught in its grasp, we must still face the issue because it is a ...read more
