In particular, there is more than one reason for divorce. Abuse is one that many argue is not a reason. Emotional abuse can do longer lasting damage than physical abuse and both are most certainly reasons for leaving a marriage.
1 Cor. 7 10-11 - Divorce and separation for Christian couples (married).

  • A marriage is an equal partnership. None of this 50/50 garbage. It is 100/100 and even 100% when the woman is pregnant or one is ill/injured and in the hospital. That is a real part of every marriage and if you aren't ready for that, don't get married.
  • A wife is not to depart from her husband. If she does, let her remain unmarried or reconcile with her husband. Anyone who spouts "God doesn't want me to be married to this person anymore." without a valid reason is lying to themselves and will be an adulterer.
  • A husband is not to divorce his wife. Same principle applies to the husband. Jesus never commands divorce with infidelity but it is permitted, aka valid reason.
12-16 - Divorce and remarriage when a Christian is married to an unbelieving spouse.
Unequally yoked as so many say but that kind of talk confuses people. One is a Christian and one is not. More words but you won't confuse people.
As the husband's duty is to lead her and his family with God first. No matter your feelings, knowing how it's all going to end no non-Christian is going to Heaven nor with God and Christians in the end. None. It's a waste of one's life.
Most importantly, "But if the unbeliever departs, let him/her depart." - The Christian must do all they can to keep the marriage together (not by force). If divorced, then he/she has a valid divorce and remarry.

Too many people don't value marriage even though they made a big stink of it. They don't truly care about their spouse.
Zero reasons for breaking marriage vows. Zero lying, cheating, stealing, infidelity, keeping secrets, etc.
