Answer 1

The Bible consistently communicates that marriage is a lifelong commitment. For example,with reference to the relationship between a man and a woman, it is stated in Matthew 19:6: “They are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate” (NIV). This would essentially mean that a husband and wife should be a family unit no less permanent than their families of origin should be. The Bible recommends forgiveness and reconciliation during marital conflicts at the fullest extent possible.
