A marriage won't work, if both parties cannot make it work

In an exclusive chat with Kingsley Speaks, an online relationship therapist, and coach, he uses the bible to address the values of marriage and when divorce should be an option without looking back.

"First and foremost, people need to understand that marriage is God's plan and was never intended to be dissolved. From the first time divorce was organised in the bible by Moses, the reason was not because God wanted it. But because people could not live together.In the context of marriage, living together can only be achieved when God is at the center of the relationship. By this I mean that, we cannot always love and serve each other in marriage without the help of God and the Holy Spirit.

"If God is the One who organised marriage, we'll need Him live without divorce being an option.God's purpose for marriage is that both parties love abd serve eachother by first loving Him.But when people are not able to live together as God designed, if the marital relationship becomes toxic and detrimental to the health of one party, then this is why people divorce.Just as it was in the days of Moses

"Where divorce became an option because two people could not live together because of one or many reasons, in this time and age, if a marital relationship becomes detrimental and toxic to the other party, its advisable to leave for safety one deserves to die in a marital relationship. If both parties cannot love and serve each other in a way that honors God, if the relationship has become toxic, its okay to leave.

"While it is okay to leave a marital relationship when it's becoming toxic and destructive, people should also learn that a marital relationship cannot work if two people cannot make it work. A lot of tolerance and forgiveness is involved to make it work. It's not a walk in the park. Some divorce isn't really because the relationship was toxic but because one or both parties cannot accommodate and tolerate each other. If the relationship is toxic and abusive, it's right to leave. But if it is not, then divorce is not always an option."
