• Warns against seeking divorce on frivolous grounds. Even the idea that it could be better with someone else wrecks havoc because it creates discontentment. Often times God’s commands concerning marriage are ignored in order to chase an illusion. (Know that life is not about fleeting happiness, but in responding properly to the truth which in turn will lead to true happiness and persistent joy.)
