Listen:  You cannot UN-ring a bell.  Sometimes it is not possible to go back and straighten out all of the convoluted mistakes we made in life and such things as marriage and remarriage. Repent for what you have done and for what you are and GO ON with you life.  If a husband BEATS his wife, or ABUSES the children, or does NOT PROVIDE food and shelter for his family, or is totally IMMORAL, or DESERTS his wife, or DIES, then the wife is not expected to remained married to such a man if she does not desire, and the same is true she the wife commit these crimes.  Almost all other things are just excuses to have one's cake and eat it too. I hope this has been a little helpful to you.

    God be with you,

Divorce:  The only way that Jesus said one can leave a man and/or marry another is if there is "pornia" present (called 'forniction') in the King James.  Pornia means "prostitution," but it can also mean a host of sexual immorality.  Also, Paul tells us that if a man will not provide for his own family, he is "WORSE than an infidel." The same is true of a man or deserts his family, or abuses his wife or children. In such cases of "immorality" a mate should not be considered bound.

Peggy,

Having been there myself, I can attest to the utter confusion we find ourselves in when we experience divorce and remarriage.  We were designed as part of a family and we naturally gravitate toward that. 

God said in Malachi 2:16:

""I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith."

Jesus expanded on that with vigor as you alluded to in your post, but God still hates divorce.

Many years ago, I asked the very same question you did and to this day the answer still resonates in me:  God hates divorce.  That will never change.

Learn from the past, seek forgiveness and forge ahead with the life you have now.  By God's grace and your repentance, sins of the past are forgotten as though they never occurred.

You are where you are, because of God's perfect will.
