What situations would lead you to recommend a couple divorce?

adultery or abuse

However, I don't think anyone should "recommend it"

If a man or woman lusts after another than their spouse it is adultery.

Abuse can be anything from verbal, emotional, or physical abuse.

However in some cases divorce is not always the right thing to do.

I do think there are situations when a pastor should recommend separation.

What constitutes adultery? I believe if one partner commits adultery it doesn't mean an instant divorce. If the couples is willing to forgive and not do that anymore, they should be able to stay together.

If one of the parties is unwilling to work it out or doesn't want to give up "the other person", then I believe that other party is free to divorce.

Abuse - - 'nuff said.

Subjective. If this is the criteria then everyone can divorce.

Adultery - when your affections are toward another you are not married to.

Abuse - can be verbal or physical. This would depend on how much a person can take and stay sane.

I think the abuse clause is vague.
