1. What are God’s thoughts about divorce?
- The school of Shammai

- A Consumer relationship
- A Covenant relationship
2. Is it ever okay to get a divorce?
Now, this does NOT MEAN:

- you’ve just grown apart
- or they’ve gotten annoying
- or you’re just not attracted to them anymore
Divorce should be viewed as something as RADICAL as amputating an arm or a leg.
–Timothy Keller
3. What about remarriage after a divorce?
All scholars on every side of the divorce and remarriage debate agree that it was a given for first century Jews that remarriage was a valid option after a valid divorce. To be granted a legal separation meant de facto that you were no longer bound to anyone and thus free to remarry. No one in Jesus audience was thinking that remarriage wouldn’t be an option.
