What are some reasons that merit a divorce?

Sexual Immorality (Matthew 5:32; 19:9): Jesus provides an "exception clause," allowing divorce when a spouse commits adultery or sexual immorality (Greek: porneia), which Jesus frames as a breach that makes the marriage bond invalid.

Abandonment by an Unbeliever (1 Corinthians 7:15): Paul states that if a believing person is deserted by their non-believing spouse, they are "not under bondage" in such cases, implying freedom to divorce if the unbeliever insists on leaving.

Interpretations & Extensions

Abuse: Many modern Christian perspectives view severe physical, emotional, or spiritual abuse as a form of abandonment, breaking the marriage covenant and potentially justifying divorce for the protection and well-being of the victim, aligning with the principle of the unbelieving spouse leaving.

Addiction/Neglect: Similar to abuse, severe addiction or persistent neglect that destroys the marriage foundation can be seen as a form of abandonment or breaking vows, though not explicitly named as porneia.

Not adhearing to the deal. That's why the main reason that's going to be given is cheating.

Men have literally nothing to gain from it other than a woman that won't be fucking other people behind his back. Yes, random cases exist, but in general this is the fact.

For women it could be that or a bunch of other shit. Not making enough money? Got sick? Spend to much time at work? Don't spend enough time at work? Literally anything I could make up in this department.

The whole idea and purpose of "marriage" is just to know who kids those are and cheating by the woman is the main thing that breaks that to peices. That dude is agreeing to financially provide for the results of sex only with her... kind of all fucked up when random black kids by kunta kint-a are showing up.

There are not many reasons in my eyes that do merit for people to divorce.

The first and foremost reason is cheating. Whether it is emotional or physical cheating, that would be reason enough to ask for a divorce from that person.

Emotional cheating would be something like watching pornographic content while in a relationship and without the express consent of the partner. Emotional cheating is usually the first step towards physical cheating. There is no room in any relationship for a cheater because those people are not able to learn from their mistakes.

Another reason for divorce is abuse, whether physical or emotional. Finally, another valid reason for a divorce would be financial extorsion or marriage for the sole purpose of financial profit.

Those are, in my opinion, the 3 most valid reasons for a divorce.

So I can't watch some films of my favorite porn star every now and then if I am married?

The fact alone that you have the urge to watch porn while being married is a huge red flag. No need to say more.

For women, literally anything can merit divorce. He breathes the wrong way, divorce.. This is because women treat marriage like something they wipe their ass with and flush.

As for men. Disloyalty, abuse of him or others. Drug use. Those are my big ones.

lol yeah you are right with respect to how easy women divorce men. One slight inaccuracy and that's it. As if she has the right to decide what is right and what is wrong. As if the marriage is her's and she decides. As if she is doing you a favor that she is your wife. I can't stand them for this. So reprehensible they are.
