Deuteronomy 24:2-4 Abomination

 2If, after leaving his house, she goes and becomes another man’s wife, 3and the second man hates her, writes her a certificate of divorce, hands it to her, and sends her away from his house, or if he dies, 4then the husband who divorced her first may not remarry her after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination to the LORD. You must not bring sin upon the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.


“It seems that it might be a good thing for the first husband and wife to get back together. But this command is made because God wanted both marriage and divorce to be seen as serious, permanent things. One couldn’t be married or divorced casually; it had to be carefully thought out because it was permanent.” (Guzik)


The certificate of divorce wasn’t written for burnt toast, it was for sexual immorality. So for it to happen again with a second husband, behavior hasn’t changed! 


Marriage isn’t easy and takes hard work because of sin.

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”


The first step to strengthen a struggling marriage is to admit you need help.

Blessings
