NOPE - but you gotta forgive him/her.

Does the poster really think any human knows what God expects, or just what someone may think God expects?

The poster works on one premise --- What God expects is revealed in His WORD ( Scripture ). That's why he quotes it extensively in the article.
Of course, if someone doesn't share that premise, the article is moot.

Does God Expect Me to Stay Married to a Jerk? I think you mean "does God expect me to continue to live with a jerk"?
You will always be married to him, irrespective of what the judge says.

People have been claiming to know the will of $DEITY for many millennia, and lots of people have believed their claims. Today appears to be no different.

A simple rejoinder ...
You are with some boyscouts in canoes approaching a waterfall, and one containing three boys - one is your son — turns over. Two cling to the canoe and your son is alone in the water.
Who do you save?
Correct answer is you save your son.
Your future grief will be over losing two, whereas your future happiness will radiate among others, including your own self.

I invite anyone who is against divorce to spend a week with my ex wife.
She’ll make a believer out of you.
To: SeekAndFind
The correct answer is: Don’t marry a jerk in the first place.

This article doesn’t quote the OT Law, where God makes allowance for divorce. That wasn’t because divorce is a goal we should seek, but because there ARE times when divorce is appropriate.
If one person is working to destroy the other, and will not agree to counseling, then the other needs to escape. If one makes the mistake of marrying a psycho-bitch (as my son did), then the right answer is not to stay with her and have kids!

Yes there are times when a divorce is appropriate and I believe God knows that.
To: SeekAndFind
God Himself is divorced.
One simply cannot study a NIV or NASB or NKJV or any other of these new-fangled versions and expect to find truth.The best study tools available are geared to the KJV.
Divorce is a sin, but Christ Jesus offered us a new start, a sort of resurrection every time we repent.
In twenty years of counseling, I can tell you that God does not expect His children to live in turmoil in a house divided.

I believe no one should get married. People change over the course of a lifetime and you will not be married to the same person you married 10 years before.
Anybody doubt that look at your spouse now vs when you got married.

I followed your advise and I have to say, she's getting better with age.

What happens if they do have kids ?
