Divorce has a devastating effect on all family members involved. It destroys families and creates hardship for the husband, wife, and children. It breaks the covenant we made before God and our friends and relatives at the marriage altar. What does God have to say about divorce? Does the Bible really say that God hates divorce? If so, why?
These next 4 programs revolve around a discussion of those questions with Tim Tucker, on affiliate staff with the Pittsburgh FamilyLife team, Scott and Catherine Mercer (part or our Pittsburgh FamilyLife team), and Tom (associate pastor and licensed professional counselor) and Pam Jones (Pittsburgh area real estate agent).
God meant marriage to be permanent, but in our divorce-happy society where marriages are dissolved so much easier due to "no fault", we really need to get back to Biblical instruction of what God thinks, rather than what mankind thinks. Less broken marriages result in less broken children as well. God knows what works and what doesn't work in preserving a Christ-centered marriage. His ways are best for everyone!

**Divorce has a devastating effect on all family members involved. It destroys families and creates hardship for the husband, wife, and the children. It breaks the covenant we made before God and our friends and relatives at the marriage altar. What does God have to say about divorce? Does the Bible really say that God hates divorce? If so, why?
The program revolves around a discussion of those questions with Tim Tucker, affiliate Pittsburgh FamilyLife staff, Scott and Catherine Mercer (part of our Pittsburgh FamilyLife team), and Tom (associate pastor and licensed Christian counselor) and Pam Jones (Pittsburgh area real estate agent).
God meant marriage to be permanent, but in our divorce-happy society where marriages are dissolved so much easier due to 'no fault', we need to get back to Biblical instruction of what God thinks, rather than what mankind thinks. Less broken marriages result in less broken children as well. God knows what works and what doesn't work in preserving a Christ-centered marriage. His ways are best for everyone!
