Ive heard a lot that marriage is the bond between a man and woman and that remarriage is never okay, even if you are legally divorced. But I remember reading somewhere in the bible that remarriage is alright as long as you have legal divorce papers? Does anyone know which is true?

According to the new testment Jesus said that unfaithlessness was the only reason it was okay to divorce. However I suppose it abuse is involve than divorce would be okay.

yeah. but if they just got married so that they could have sex without all of their Christian friends saying that pre-marital sex is bad, then got bored of the sex and divorced, that wouldn't be ok

Matthew 19:3-12 3Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?" 4"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'[a] 5and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh' ? 6So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
7"Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"
8Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
10The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry."
11Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage[c]because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."Mark 10:2-12 2Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" 3"What did Moses command you?" he replied. 4They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away." 5"It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law," Jesus replied. 6"But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.'[a] 7'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, 8and the two will become one flesh.'[c] So they are no longer two, but one. 9Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
10When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. 11He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. 12And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

I didn't know jack-all about you!!" I know and I'm going to say it...I think people should spend sometime in engament before they get married at least a year or two to see if they really like each other, they should also move in with each other to see if they can stand each other while living together, and if they find that their are things they don't like about each others living habits they can make changes before marriage, and yes I know the implications...like they might fornicate, but they could live in seperate rooms and accountablity partners for each other.

But the reason why I would think that abuse would be okay because that isn't a healthy relationship.

I have a question nonbody can seem to answer but I will ask it again, what conotates marriage, alot of people say it's a wedding where the priest then pronounces you husband and wife, but I have yet to see that in the Bible..so where in the Bible does it say that two people are married because of such and such ritual?
