Matthew 19:9

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

I'm telling you straight up — if you divorce your wife for any reason other than cheating and then marry someone else, you're committing adultery. And if you marry someone who got divorced for other reasons, you're doing the same thing.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Marriage isn't something you can just walk away from whenever things get hard.
