There are questions many who left their marriages behind or who are willing to separate from their lives partners are not careful to ask themselves. Before you let your life suffer unamendable wounds from divorce ask yourself these questions:
1. My friends that are pushing me to sign a divorce paper and be separated from my spouse enjoying their marriages? It is only those who know how sweet honey tastes that can tell you, what you have been missing.
2. Are all the well-wishers asking me to take a leave of my marriage in their marriages or runaways planning to form an association of losers or divorces?
Only if you know what the Devil intend to achieve with divorce, you wouldn't have contemplated it at all. Whatever is not in the beginning it is because GOD never intended it to be, but the Devil is suggesting it to you using difficult times and challenges of life to move you against GOD, and take you far away from the mercies of GOD, then he can destroy your soul easily. Marriage is given to you to enjoy but the Devil is fighting it to destroy you through what's meant to help your life. See what Jesus teaches on divorce:
They [the Jews] said to Him [Jesus], Why then did Moses command [us] to give a certificate of divorce and thus to dismiss and repudiate a wife? [Deut. 24:1-4.] Jesus said to them, Because of the hardness (stubbornness and perversity) of your hearts Moses permitted you to dismiss and repudiate and divorce your wives; but from the beginning, it has not been so [ordained]. I say to you: whoever dismisses (repudiates, divorces) his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. (Matthew 19:7-9 AMPC).
When a car is spoilt, the driver or owner takes it to the mechanic workshop. When a man or woman is sick, he or she goes to the hospital. When your marriage is sick why do you take it to gossip, bear pallor, frustrated counsellors, market place or godless fellows, why not take it to the author of marriage, the one who gave you the man or woman to marry — GOD?
"Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. [Ps. 55:22.]" (1 Peter 5:7 AMPC).
One truth that has been the regret of men or women that were separated from their marriages (spouses) is that the moment you are separated from your marriage, you will immediately know what you should have done to solve the whole differences or challenges; all the solution to all the irreconcilable differences would be looking at you in the face. But oftentimes, people out of pride and shame don't have the courage to return to have it amended.
Take your matter to Jesus He will heal your marital differences, He is the author of marriage, and He knows exactly what to do.
At best, people are not willing to let a doctor who is not a professional or good at his or her job carry out an operation on them no matter how minor, but, unfortunately, people don't mind who counsels them when they are in challenges. If you must take counsel, let it be from people who have gone through problems, the type you have now, and were able to overcome the challenges, not people who were overcome by their life challenges and rendered frustrated out there who are looking for how to form an association of losers. Don't join yourself in their club, go for godly counsel, and seek men and women who are genuine under GOD not people that hunger has pushed into ministry.
There is no challenge GOD can't fix. Divorce is not an option to choose, once you permit yourself to suffer from it, you have suffered a great wound that you should have healed easily with the right counsel. Divorce will open you up to the Devil to prey on your soul, that's why you must not do it, it is a demon, fight it and never lose to it.
