According to The Bible, marriage is a divine arrangement by God, first established in Eden(Genesis 2:22-24) for procreation (Genesis 1:27, 28) and joy (Proverbs 5:18).

Genesis 2:24 says: "That is why a man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh. "(Matthew 19:5)

Marriage was created by God as a covenant between two people, a PROMISE of faithfulness, that would last forever. It should not be 'put apart' (Matthew 19:6), as God hates a divorcing (Malachi 2:16)

However, because of human imperfection, God is merciful "remembering that we are dust"(Psalms 103:14)...and has added one allowance, mentioned by Jesus at:

Matthew 19:8-9 "Moses, out of regard for YOUR hardheartedness, made the concession to YOU of divorcing YOUR wives, but such has not been the case from [the] beginning. I say to YOU that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery." (Matthew 5:32)(Matthew 19:9)

Anything beyond this is brought out in 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 NASB): "...But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband(but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife."

And the only other thing that ends a marriage in God's eyes is brought out at:

1 Corinthians 7:39 (Romans 7:2)
