Marriage is sacred, but what happens when it’s built on adultery? The Bible permits divorce for infidelity or abandonment, yet a new union between adulterers—like a woman leaving her husband for her lover—starts with sin. Jesus calls remarriage after an unjustified divorce adultery (Matthew 19:9). God doesn’t bless such shaky foundations, as seen with David and Bathsheba’s judged beginnings. But grace can redeem. If repentance transforms the couple, God can work good from flaws (Romans 8:28)—not endorsing the start but reclaiming it. A flawed marriage isn’t doomed, but its blessing hinges on turning to Him
