Sometimes divorce is the very best solution to a bad situation. People change and become dissatisfied with their partners, leading to bad choices and a lot of pain in some cases; a lot of joy and release in others.
I am so fortunate to have been in love with, and tolerated by the same woman for 38 years, but if she decided to leave me I would want her to be happy with someone else, not waste away the rest of her days in celibacy because of some misguided bible author.
Compassion is the best thing Jesus taught IMHO. Being non-judgmental is another. I vote for compassion because we all have enough judgment around us in our daily lives.
Slandjit, your insight on the level of chauvinism in the bible is not unoticed. Someone should do something about that :)
