You: live in a cramped apartment that smells like 'ethnic' food, pay 50% of your salary in rent, watch netflix ever nigh alone, use dating apps, take SSRIs like candy.This didn't age well.

It's the born agains who claim that the HowMoreSensuals and the LIBRLZ are dye- stroying Western Civilization and that only thru "traditional marriage" can society be restored
And now he's getting divorced.
So Christian of him!No one should be happy about divorce. It says nothing good about your character that you take pride in the collapse of a marriage.

“ I don’t know what comes next. I do know that I need to go back and try to share some of this unmerited grace with my wife, who needs to taste the same freedom and healing that Christ gave me. Jesus has made it possible for me to go home without resenting, or mourning, or in a spirit of destruction, but rather in a spirit of peacemaking and love and rest. I have to find some way to show to Julie and our children that He has us in His hands, and will heal us if we let him. I have to finally become, in brokenness and defeat, the spiritual leader that I should have been before. How did this come to me? I have no idea, but I will not stay stuck in my head and refuse it because it came so suddenly, and doesn’t make sense so soon after the horrible stroke of the divorce announcement.”

Some Pharisees came to [Jesus] 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] 5 and 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’[b]? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
Matthew 19:3-4
