✦ MADE SIMPLE

But here's what I'm telling you: if you divorce your wife for any reason other than cheating, you're basically setting her up to be labeled an adulteress. And anyone who marries a divorced woman is committing adultery too.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Jesus says divorce should only happen because of unfaithfulness — otherwise everyone gets hurt.
