New Testament on Marriage

New Testament on Marriage, Divorce & Remarriage Instructions to Men and Women respectively
The following columns contain the teaching of the New Testament concerning marriage, divorce and remarriage. The statements are separated out by those instructions for men versus those for women. Some may think this an arbitrary way of presenting these teachings, but even a summary look at the contents of both columns will show that this is how they are stated in the Scriptures. So, let's see what they say...
