There is really never an innocent party in a divorce.

I agree with everything you said except for the last sentence. NEVER an innocent party? Those Jewish women that Jesus was defending in Matthew 19 were not often innocent victims? There are not cases today where one spouse gives their all while another is self-centered and just changes their mind on a whim? Is there no victim or innocent party in such a case?

I probably should of said in 99% cases of divorce today there is no innocent party. Here is the thing, the innocent party is not going to be the one purposing divorce. Also, I hear of people saying that they changed after we married, I personally struggle agreeing with that. People are so infatuated with one another during engagement, but after the vows are made it is like they married a different person lol

I think I agree with you that in the West, most divorce is unjustifiable. But I don't think it holds true in other parts of the world. Nor do I agree that a victim won't be the one ending the marriage. If a woman is being physically abused, she should end it.

Back in the day, her father and brothers/cousins would "end" the abuse. Just saying...

So you don't believe adultery is the only reason to end a marriage.
