Apostles 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.

The Bible is silent regarding other grounds. Much that is legal divorce (as for “incompatibility” or “irreconcilable differences”) is unscriptural and therefore sinful.
