As Jesus Christ said:
"It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." Mark 5:31-32
And
"And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery." Mark 10:2-12
Now do not these passages make the matter clear? Jesus Christ has clearly stated his position on divorce. As I laid out in my articles leading up to this, when a man and woman join, they become one flesh. It is not a ceremony that makes this so. It is not a piece of paper that makes this so. It is not the recognition of men or governments that makes this so. It is because when a man and woman are joined, they become one flesh, and no ceremony, document, or judicial decree will change that. After a couple gets a divorce, they are still married. And after they are separated, if they remarry, they are committing adultery because their marriage is still in effect.
