I Divorce in the Family
The most fundamental unit of
1 society is marriage and the family
that is based on it. Every social
- structure, such as government,
business and the church, has aris
en out of this, and the formation
of attitudes, temperament, > ideals,
morals come from this basic
school. When marriage begins to
break down, then society has al
ready begun to break down, and
the seeds of misery and unhappi
ness are sown thereby. Thus the
much talked-about growth in di
vorce in America is highly signifi
cant.
That divorce in America has in
creased in indisputable. In colon
ial days there was one divorce for
every 500 marriages. In the Ply
mouth Colony which had 70,000
people; in 17 years there were
only six divorces. By 1812 the rate
was one divorce for every 110
marriages. By 1942 it had become
one divorce for every three mar
riages. While there was a slight
reversal of this trend in 1948 and
a few years that followed, the
trend of increase has returned
with now some 800,000 divorces
yearly and the probability that old
records will be superceded.
Divorce indicates a loss of har
mony at home and means that the
school of love has become the
school of hate. Much juvenile de
linquency can be directly attribu
ted to broken homes. Since mar
riage is the most fundamental of
all contracts, if people are not
willing to suffer to maintain it,
then they will not uphold any
other contracts, including business
contracts, governmental contracts,
and the like. It is not surprising
that of the four major reasons
which Gibbons lists for the decline
and fall of the Roman Empire, the
number one cause was the rapid
increase in divorce and the under
mining of the dignity of the home.
Hence, the question of divorce
is not just a private matter. It af
fects all members of socity by its
destructive effects and it affects
the glory of God because it under
mines morality and ethics. But it
also affects the individuals invol
ved. In the Los Angeles divorces,
three out of four affected children,
involving them in turmoil, divided
parents, and often step-parents.
Easy divorce is not even kind to
all adults who get them. Every
marriage re q u ir es adjustments,
and when people know divorce is
accessible, they do not make an ef
fort to adjust and they develop a
pattern of running from differ
ences with others. Moreover, “free
dom” is often found by many to
be worse than the problems of
marriage because they find they
are a misfit in society.
Divorce today is really a result
of other factors such as material
ism and sensualism that are caus
ing a breakdown of society. Hence,
conditions which make marriage
unbearable are more frequent than
in Colonial times. While on the
one hand, it would be perilous for
our society to condone it, never
theless, there is a deep need to
help those who have undergone
this shattering experience to read
just to life and society. Moreover,
those having difficulties in mar
rige need to be encouraged to seek
counsel. This author has had the
privilege of helping many see
their problems and solve them and
they are often less difficult than
they seem.
The Bible teaches that God
created man and woman for a
monogamous marriage relation
ship (Gen. 2: 21ff) and all poly
gamous relationship in the Bible
are either discredited or shown to
be perversions from a monoga
mous relationship. Jesus Christ
taught that the only grounds for
breaking a monogamous marriage
was adultery, a condition that was
already a denial of monogamy (cf
Matthew 5: 31, 32; 19: 3ff.) More
over, belief in God tends to help
men and women solve their differ
ences because it gives them a
standard of right and wrong big
ger than their selfish interests.
An analysis of Los Angeles di
vorces showed that in 95 per cent
of the divorces, one or both of the
parties never attended church re
gularly. There is one divorce for
