Do God and romance have anything to do with one another? Maybe it hasn't occurred to you that there's a connection between the two, but our right relationship to God actually puts us into right relationship with everyone else. Listen to Christian Science lecturer Lois Carlson to hear how.

    What is your intake on how God is apart of divorce?

    My own values view it as something I would never do because it is not something that people in Jesus' time were able to do. Thus, I find it hard to picture marrying not only because I will have to spend, what seems like the "rest of my life" with the same person...everyday - but also because I can't see myself trusting any person to truthfully promise me that divorce will not ever be an option in the relationship.

    Mrs. Eddy says:

    "Separation never should take place, and it never would, if both husband and wife were genuine Christian Scientists. Science inevitably lifts one's being higher in the scale of harmony and happiness."

    I think you're approaching this from the wrong perspective. If you can't "trust any person to truthfully promise you that divorce won't be an option," doesn't that mean you're not really trusting that God can provide you with what you need? So start trusting Him!

    If you see relationships as fragile, fleeting things, then I think you should redefine your view of what relationships are! Your current framework just sounds so possessive. It sounds like relationships are something you have to work really hard just to locate, and then once you've found one you have to bury it in the ground to make sure nobody else finds it and takes it away from you. And right relationships are so much more than that!

    Start from the basis of "what can I give?" and "how can I give more love?" rather than "what can I get?" and "how do I hang onto this fleeting love?"
