The Question of DIVORCE

“If a man divorces his wife    and she leaves him and marries another man,should he return to her again?    Would not the land be completely defiled?
But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers—    would you now return to me"declares the Lord. --Jeremiah 3: 1
"“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.  Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.” --Mark 10:6-12
Clearly, in the Old and the New Testament's the covenant we make with our husbands is supposed to last for life, otherwise any other man or woman we marry will be adulterers and us as well. There is no getting out of the covenant you made before God. There is no escape from the promise you made to stick by each other's side no matter what. But when does God ask us to love ourselves and do what's right for our spiritual walk and journey? Is there room for that in marriage? Is there any circumstance where leaving the marriage is dignified?

I don't know, but I can surely sympathise with many couples who've been divorced. I can empathize with their struggle and painful interactions with each other, and I can even understand falling out of love, but where do we draw the line for divorce? Because it's so much of a cultural norm to get divorced and remarried, have we lost all touch of what marriage is meant to be? Are people getting married to early? Before they know that they will commit to each other for the rest of their lives? If so, what do we say of their children? Where do they come into this?
It's a hard topic and a frustrating thing to wrestle with, but the Bible is clear that marriages should last forever. I think there is some discrepancy with emotional and physical abuse, but if you just plain married the wrong person, what do you do? Do you start to think about marriage differently from the start or do you get divorced? Do you bend to the other person or give up? How and when is divorce applicable, and why?
