Divorce

Why do Christians get divorced at the same rate as non-Christians? Christians get married in front of God and their Christian friends, all of whom are praying to God for the marriage to succeed. And then they say, "What God has put together, let no man put asunder." God is all-powerful, so if God has put two people together that should seal the deal, right?

Are there any circumstances where it is okay for a baptist to get a divorce?

I know a girl who's marriage was rocky and she sought assistance from her Baptist Pastor and he lead her into doing everything possible to get a divorce, including filling for divorce in the court system.

Is this okay biblically speaking.

Would you consider a baptist Preacher that leads his members into divorce a true pastor? Because, I don't know of any baptist pastors that condone it.

Calvinist - "they were predestined to fall apart"
Arminian - "they chose to fall apart"
Me - Sinners will be sinners. Divorce is a sin, but not everyone is dedicated to fight for a marriage its sad.

Many people that are not Christians do not bother to get married, they just live together and then separate. So they do not count in the statistics. That does not mean divorce for Christians is okay. It just gives a better total picture of the situation.

Yeah, thanks, I did not think of that. Do you and others mind answering the second part of the OP about my friend. I still talk with this girl and luckily convinced her to work on her marriage and they have been still married for over 4 years and going strong.
