The prophet Malachi (the last book in the Old Testament) gives this prophecy in Chapter 2, verse 16.
Malachi 2:16 "I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith. (NIV) Interested in knowing more on what God thinks about divorce?
Additional thoughts:
Jesus clearly points out that 'in the beginning' marriage was intended to be a permanent arrangement ( 'For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh'? So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together let no man put apart.") . Divorce was eventually allowed in certain circumstances because of humanity's "hardheartedness", and ONLY on the grounds of 'fornication' (sex outside of marriage), otherwise known as 'Adultery'. (Matthew 19:3-9)(Mark 10:2-9)
(Matthew 5:32)
