nApostles Paul and Peter stressed winning the unbeliever to Christ (1 Cor. 7:16; 1 Pet. 3:1-2). The assumption
is that either husband or wife became a Christian
after marriage. But God has also
called us to live in peace (1 Cor. 7:15). If an unbeliever wants to leave, the believer will have more peace not interfering.
nThe Bible is silent regarding other grounds. Much that is legal divorce (as
for “incompatibility” or “irreconcilable
differences”) is unscriptural and therefore
sinful.
