Marriage

Marriage.  It can be the hardest of relationships.  Surely there's a way out when things go bad.  Even God wouldn't make me endure with this impossible person.  God's Word is restrictive; in some cases, to obey would be tragic.  So we seek to follow the "spirit" of the Law and not the letter.  At least, that's what we tell ourselves.  How often are we, instead, like the Pharisees in this passage, distorting the Word of God to justify our evil desires?  Who is Lord in that case?  What is the heart of God in regard to marriage?  Can we divorce?  Jesus has an answer, but are we willing to receive it?  From Matthew 19:1-15.
