(1Co 7:10) “And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: (11) But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.” Marriage is to honor God Who instituted it. It is to reflect the love of Himself towards the church and the church’s fidelity towards Him. Obeying this teaching demonstrates us honoring Him.
