When people stand before God as male and female in a marriage ceremony, they take part in an oath. They then become one flesh and are no longer two but one flesh. The moment you stood before God and took the oath....in the becoming one flesh, it was sealed.
When God sanctions a marriage, that means we are abiding by the guide lines we find in the bible. That is what God sanctioned. So if you've followed the guide lines that God has ordained.....male and female, not marring a pagan and whatever else the bible says about marriage, then no..we just can't divorce when we just feel like it. We may separate but marriage is unto death and then one is free. But until then the 2 have become one.
If one has married outside of what God sanctioned in the bible, then God has not sanctioned it and in His eyes, its not a marriage at all.
