Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
The Apostle Paul teaching about Marriage and the LAW.
DIVORCE has become way too common and an easy path out of marriage but the results and ramifications in the sight of GOD do not change for both the MAN AND the WOMAN.
There ARE in God's Laws legitimate reasons for divorce but we are not covering those right now.
This is simply what these verses are instructing about one's standing before GOD under those circumstances...
