Faithful Through Fracture
When Jesus was questioned about divorce in Matthew 19, He did not begin by discussing loopholes or technical exceptions. Instead, He went back to creation itself. Jesus pointed His listeners back to Genesis 2 and reminded them that marriage was established by God as a covenant union between one man and one woman joined together as “one flesh.”
When One Flesh Breaks: Divorce, Restoration, and the Hope of the Gospel

For others, it brings memories of betrayal, heartbreak, abandonment, loneliness, regret, or painful failure. Because we live in a fallen world, every serious biblical theology of marriage must wrestle honestly not only with God’s beautiful design for marriage, but also with the painful reality of broken covenants and fractured relationships.
