Is a Christian permitted to get divorced because of a thought of adultery?

Divorce adultery

As common as divorce has become nowadays, more and more Christians are asking questions such as: My spouse cheated on me, so can I get a divorce? What about what the Bible says about divorce? Christians should know what God wants from us and what paths should be taken before deciding on divorce.

Dear Jim: Is a thought of adultery sufficient for a divorce?

Questions relating to divorce continue to flood my email “In” folder. Since there are so many divorces today, for perhaps all types of reasons, it leaves well-intended Christians searching for reason and a way.

Some common questions received are:

1. If I remarry, will I be committing adultery?

2. My spouse left me years ago emotionally and physically, am I able to divorce and marry again?
