I think God hates divorce because it hurts his kids.
I also think that Jesus was completely on the side of women in his society who were looked down upon. No way would he stand by and allow anyone to hurt or take advantage of any one of them!

This is my post on how divorce has shaped me:

When the bible says Husbands love your wives as Jesus loves the church, I am sure abuse did not come under that commandment of love.

It is just not a sensible thing to think a woman should or must stay in a reltionship where her life is at stake. I am not saying that God cannot change a mans heart but I could understand and dont see God having a problem with a woman trying to protect her self by leaving.

Not all pastors condone sending a woman back to an abusive husband. My pastor was the reason I left! He begged me to leave my ex-husband but he did ask me not to tell anyone that he instructed me to do this. The real issue that most pastors don’t want to bring up when talking about this kind of thing is the concept of ‘Shepard accountability.’ Pastors are essentially accountable for all of the decisions and counsel they make to their parishioners (their ‘flock’ so to speak). They feel that if they tell a woman to leave her husband that they will be punished by God for their actions. The irony is that they will likely be punished by God for sending a Woman back into a situation where she could get killed and/or her children continue to witness violence. Warren cherry picks his passages. God absolutely doesn’t want a Woman to stay in such a situation. The Bible is vague about divorce and only really talks about faithfulness. Since when was being faithful limited to sexual affairs! When a man hits a woman he has broken any covenant there ever was!
