Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage discusses marriage from the perspective of God's foundational reason and will for marriage, and how it should function. It reveals that marriage can only function properly when there is genuine soul agreement, which is the foundation for every relationship, even our relationship with God. When this agreement is not rooted in righteousness in the minds of both spouses, or one of them, there will be problems within the marriage. It discusses problems in marriage from the perspective of the intricate function of the soul, which has to do with what we believe about marriage and our partners. When not aligned with the truth of God and the right emotion of love, sin or lies can penetrate such a soul, leading to unrighteous outcomes and troubles. Pride is emphasized as a major cause of trouble in marriages. Divorce and remarriage are discussed from scriptural perspectives, and while they are not God's will, they must be addressed from the place of God's instruction through seeking Him. These problems are emphasized and have become pronounced because we lack the character of adaptability and adjustment, which help in seeking solutions, rather than complicating our marriages with social ideas. Finally, parenting is addressed briefly from the point of view of understanding our children as the souls they are, and that they evolve based on their beliefs, which proves the need to teach them the truth and help them maintain emotional stability. Marriage is of God, and it is important that we address it from the perspective of God's intentions.
