There are some questions people of faith are afraid to ask out loud.

Not because they do not feel them, but because they are afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or confronted with what the answer might require.

One of those questions is this:

Is it okay for me to divorce?

In this episode of Just Nona, I am answering a heart question from Shonda, who is wrestling with what faithfulness looks like when a marriage still exists legally, but no longer functions as a covenant in daily life.

This is not a conversation about giving up on marriage.

It is a conversation about what happens when one spouse is left carrying the full weight of the household, the finances, the children, the grief, and the future alone.

We talk about:

• What the Bible actually says about divorce
• Why God’s heart is for covenant
• The context of Malachi 2:16
• The exception clause in Matthew 19
• What 1 Corinthians 7:15 says about abandonment
• Whether incarceration can be a form of functional abandonment
• The identity distortion that makes people fear God’s disappointment
• Why peace is not just the absence of conflict, but the presence of wholeness
• The practical steps to take before making a decision this significant

God’s heart is always for covenant.

But God is also a God of compassion.

And He would not want covenant to become a prison that keeps you wounded.

You are not a failure for asking the question.

You are a person of faith bringing one of the hardest questions of your life to God, and that is exactly where it belongs.
