DivorceCare’s Teaching on Divorce

A biblical approach

DivorceCare is a Christ-centered, biblically based program that helps those who have been devastated by divorce or separation. The course affirms the sanctity of marriage while acknowledging that God permits divorce in certain circumstances.

DivorceCare explains that the Bible presents two clear grounds for divorce: infidelity or abandonment by a nonbelieving spouse. We encourage participants whose divorces were caused by other circumstances to seek counsel from their pastor and other wise individuals and to study the Bible and other Christ-centered resources to determine their options regarding divorce and remarriage.

DivorceCare also presents balanced, biblical teaching on the topic of reconciliation. However, DivorceCare only recommends that a marriage be restored when it is appropriate, wise, and safe.
