The bible don't approval at all,
Read Malachi 2:13-16

You can cry and cover the Lord's altar with tears, but the Lord will not accept your gifts. The Lord will not be pleased with the things you bring to him.
You ask, "Why are our gifts not accepted by the Lord?" Why? Because the Lord saw the bad things you did - he is a witness against you. He saw you cheat on your wife. You have been married to that women since you were young. She was your girlfriend. Then you made your vows to each other - and she became your wife. But you cheated on her. God wants husbands and wives to become one body and one spirit. Why? So they would have holy children. So protect that spiritual unity. Don't cheat on your wife. She has been your wife from the time you were young.

The Lord God of Israel says, "I hate divorce. And I hate the cruel things that men do. So protect your spiritual unity. Don't cheat on your wife.


Matthew 19:3-9


Some Pharisees came to Jesus. They tried to make Jesus say something wrong. They asked Jesus, "It it right for a man to divorce his wife for any reason he chooses?"
Jesus answered, "Surely you have read this in the Scriptures. When God made the world, 'he made people male and female'. And God said, 'So a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. And the two people will become one.' So the two people are not two, but one. God joined those two people together. So no person should seperate them."

The Pharisees asked "So why did Moses give a command allowing a man to divorce his wife by writing a certificate of divorce?" Jesus answered, "Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because you refused to accept God's teaching. But divorce was not allowed in the beginning. I tell you that any person that divorces his wife and marries another woman is guilty of the sin of adultery. The only reason for a person to divorce and marry again is if his first wife had sexual relations with another man."

Mark 10:11-12

Jesus answered, "Any person that divorces his wife and marries another woman is guilty of sin against his wife. He is guilty of the sin of adultery. And the woman that divorces her husband and marries another man is also guilty of adultery."

What if the husband is a woman beater?

The woman can leave the man for her safety; she just can't remarry.

Good. Though it's more likely the man will let the snake out of his cage with the other women if the woman leaves him because of the abuse.
 
So, They only allow to be married once?

I know that the Roman Catholic Church approve of only one marriage, period. They will only allow a couple to re-marry in their church as long they had their previous marriages annulled.

Though it seems like they don't allow people to re-marry at the Baptist churches either since Reba is one. Reba, correct me if I'm mistaken on what religion you are involved with.

I believe so, Cheri. I would suggest that you go to your Bible, and look up "divorce" in your concordance to see exactly what the Bible says on this, but I believe according to the bible, heterosexuals can marry only once. This is just one of many things I take issue with the Bible on.

*disclaimer - I will not be held responsible for whatever suggestions of mine that you take*

Realistically, I would never advocate murdering a person. :)

I never understand the bible anyways. Some of their verse are just hard to understand what exactly they are saying. It's like "english please". But, Roadrunner have explained things to me in a different way better.

Marriage is for better and worse!

So, you're saying that it's ok for the husband to cheat on his wife that would be for worse?

And it's ok to abuse your wife. that would be for worse?...

Is that what you're trying to say as for better and for worse?...
