Biblical divorce is generally viewed as a last resort, with a strong emphasis on
reconciliation, repentance, and counseling first. The Bible provides two main exceptions permitting divorce—sexual immorality (Matthew 5:32) and abandonment by an unbeliever (1 Corinthians 7:15)—but does not command it in these cases.

Prioritize Reconciliation and Prayer: Before considering divorce, the biblical approach is to seek forgiveness, counseling, and restoration to heal the marriage.
Assess Grounds for Divorce: Determine if the situation fits the biblical exceptions:
Sexual Immorality: Adultery or ongoing unrepentant sexual sin (Matthew 19:9).
Abandonment: When an unbelieving spouse leaves the believer (1 Corinthians 7:15).
Seek Wise Counsel: Involve church elders or pastors to help assess the spiritual state of the marriage and provide guidance.
Consider Legal Separation: If divorce is pending, a legal separation can provide a cooling-off period for potential reconciliation.
Understand Legal Requirements: While the Bible mentions a "certificate of divorce" for protection (Deuteronomy 24:1-4), modern legal procedures should be followed to finalize the separation.
