Why does God hate divorce? Like today, the religious leaders of the 1st Century in Israel had turned God’s Word into a license of LUST. So if they got frustrated with their wives or scoped out another potential spouse, they could easily DUMP their wives through the paperwork of divorce (no fault) and remarry. This is why our Lord in His sermon on the mount, corrects their thinking, calling couples to treasure their spouse, be one in marriage and take divorce OFF the table – ONLY except if the spouse violates the marriage by committing adultery (and later in the NT, if there is abandonment).
