Description

Does honouring marriage require someone to remain where love has been replaced by fear, cruelty and control?

In God Is Not Against Divorce, Msonter Samuel Ijoho examines one of Christianity’s most difficult and deeply personal questions: how should faith respond when a marriage becomes a place of persistent harm? Through biblical examination and compassionate reflection, he challenges interpretations that have pressured wounded people to preserve the appearance of marriage while losing their peace, dignity and safety.

Moving through the laws of Moses, the prophetic writings, the teachings of Jesus and the letters of Paul, the book explores marriage as a covenant of love, faithfulness, companionship and mutual responsibility. It considers abuse, abandonment, emotional neglect and religious manipulation, drawing essential distinctions between forgiveness and reconciliation, ordinary marital difficulties and sustained destruction, genuine repentance and repeated promises without change.

Written for married couples, those facing separation or divorce, church leaders, and anyone seeking a more thoughtful Christian response to marital suffering, this book honours the seriousness of marriage while insisting that we also honour its responsibilities. It calls churches and families to respond with truth, justice, mercy, and practical care, and it offers wounded readers a compassionate perspective on healing, restored faith, and new beginnings.

Marriage deserves protection. So do the people within it.
