Happy Friday, thank you for listening to the podcast and joining us today.

Today, Pastor John joins us over the telephone for a question from a perplexed father who

writes in anonymously.

Pastor John, my adult son wants to get a divorce from his wife.

They have been married for two years and have a one-year-old son and a newborn baby girl

of ten days old.

I'm totally perplexed by the timing.

I don't understand why he feels unhappy, but he claims he is no longer in love with his

wife anymore.

What would you say to someone who has, quote, fallen out of love with their spouse and

why is that no grounds for divorce?

Well, what I would say to them face to face would depend partly on their demeanor, but

I don't have him face to face.

I'm just going to say what I think he probably needs to hear whether I would say it exactly

like this.

I don't know, but here we go.

We would be naive, I think, to suppose that people younger old, our own children or those

of others, will act on the basis of reason and biblical truth when it comes to justifying

divorce.

I would guess that 95 cases out of 100 people do what they want to do and then find reasons

to do it, especially those who claim to believe the biblical reasons to do it, they just know

what they're going to do, they want to do it, they do it.
