2 (I)The bible is the most important book for the Christian faith, it contains information on what one should do to be guarantied the afterlife and many stories about the history of the faith. It is no wonder that such a book with so much authority affects many Christians attitude on different topics. One of these topics is marriage and divorce. Especially since marriage is a religious ceremony.
The bible is full of contradictions and doesn't give us one clear view of what one should do and what is allowed and what's not. In one parts we read divorce is not allowed (Matthew 19.4-6 we read "That is why man leaves his father and mother, and is united to his wife and the two become one flesh. It follows that they are no longer two individuals; they are one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate") while at other times we read that in some cases divorce is allowed ; Matthew 19.9 "I tell you if a man divorces his wife for any cause other than unchasity and marries another he commits adultery". We see in this passage that the bible allows divorce if the wife committed unchasity. Because of such contradictions the attitudes on Marriage and divorce vary amongst Christians.
