Mech
 * If spouse is found adulterous but is willing to try to mend, then I would not divorce. But the person must be willing to take all steps reasonably neccessary to fix the heart issue.
 * I would consider this extension to be an area of Christian liberty however, not judging those who think otherwise.
 * Hosea example.

Verses
 * Deut 22 - for accusations of not being virgin, ch24 for multiple divorce with certificate.
 * Matthew 19 no marriage in heaven, certificate of divorce because weak, do not divorce unless unfaithful
 * Numbers 5 test for unfaithful wife (not divorce, just kill if unfaithful)
 * Malachi 2:16 God says I hate divorce.
 * "divorce" could be translated "violence".
 * Context of covering multiple issues - first marrying pagans, second divorce, third doubt
 * Maybe could be interpreted as context of Israel leaving God, therefore I hate sin of apostasy.
 * Matthew 19, one flesh do not separate, except for immorality, remarry is adultery, better to not marry, eunuch dispensations
 * Deuteronomy 24:1-4 divorce if unclean, Deuteronomy 22 protocols for divorce if not virgin, rape, etc
 * Luke 16:18 not divorce except for unfaithful
