Marriage can be tricky, it has it's downs and it has its benefits. You get to spend your life with someone you love, and share a growing relationship, or your spouse can be unfaithful and leave you to be alone.
When it comes to finding someone to marry, we need to be extremely careful; because marriage is a one time thing. No do overs, once you find someone (whose never been married, and you also have never been married) and make that commitment to have sex, children, and live together that's your spouse for life!
"Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning." Matthew 19:8
"I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery." Matthew 19:9, Matthew 5:31-32, 1 Corinthians 7:8-12
When it comes to divorcing I think that Jesus made it very clear, the only time we can divorce is when our spouse is unfaithful. But even then, after they have done what they did if they have a retentive spirit we can and should forgive them and stay with that person. If we do end up divorcing that person we don't have the right to go and marry again, because Jesus does say "and marries another woman commits adultery". That's why marriage is a one time thing, even if we divorce our spouse because of unfaithfulness that was our one shot at marriage. We don't get all the chances we want to find more woman.
