Marriage

Holy matrimony, a God-ordained commitment to someone before God and all of your witnesses. In the Bible, God compares the love a groom has for his bride to the love that He has for His chosen people. God says He hates divorce. That is good. That means God will never stop loving, give up on, leave, or abandon the people He has chosen. As a Christian, I must hate divorce, too, and look upon it as a tragedy. But what about people who do not have Christian faith? "Without faith it is impossible to please God." (The letter to the Hebrews.) Is it a sin in the eyes of those without faith to divorce? What does the holy ceremony mean? Is it really holy? How should Christians look upon the divorce of non-Christians? Is their divorce nothing more than a consequence of their lack of faith?
