4 Theories on Marriage - Divorce Your Remarriage Overview Part 2

This is the second episode in a series that overviews the content of my book Divorce Your Remarriage. I am Chris Iverson and in this episode I discuss the 4 theories of marriage: contract, covenant, family, and sacramental (actually sacramental and natural). I disagree with the mainstream conservative evangelical theory that the nature of a marriage is a covenant. If the nature of marriage was a covenant, then two would remain two. However, since two are made one, the nature of marriage must not be covenantal. I defend the position that, while marriage is entered through a covenant agreement, the nature of marriage is family. Since marriage is family, marriage is undivorceable. Just as one cannot “un-sibling” their brother or sister, so one cannot “un-spouse” (divorce), their husband or wife. While a government recognized divorce can be secured so that the government, society, etc. believes the marriage to be dissolved, God does not view the marriage as dissolved. The spouses are still married in God’s sight even after the divorce. This is why a remarriage is adultery (while the first valid spouse is alive).
