There are many models of the marriage in the Bible: marriage as covenant (e.g. Malachi), one flesh (Genesis), passionate love (Song of Songs), sometimes also utility of the wife for his husband (Proverbs) and legal satisfaction of the sexual desire (1 Cor 7). No one of these models leaves place for divorce. Covenant, unity of flesh and love exclude it: we can imagine a rupture of such a marriage, but not a legal divorce. Two other models could be perhaps harmonized with divorcing, but the Bible neither proposes to divorce a bad wife, nor allows abstaining from the marital life for ascetic motives. Next, what is generally overlooked, the marriage as presented in the Bible can be also explained by a metaphor of a (mutual) property (cf. Exod 20.17; Song 2.16; 6.3; Tob 7.12; Mark 10.11-12; 1 Cor 7.2-4; Eph 5.21). This model also excludes divorce (cf. 1 Cor 7.1-5,11-12), but also helps to explain biblical texts on the failures of marriages. Deut 24.1 refers to sending back a recently acquired wife when she is unfit for marriage (the case of repugnance). Hosea and Matt 5.32; 19.9 considers marriage with a prostitute impossible, apparently because she cannot be an exclusive property of her husband (the case of prostitution, incorrectly called “divorce clause”). The term “divorce”, derived from the Roman law, does not fit to such situations, interpreting them from the modern viewpoint. In the biblical translations and in the books on the Bible we should avoid it. We should talk about sending away, about impossibility of marriage, or about a nullity of marriage instead.

Conflicts are inevitable even in the most harmonious life of family. The kind of the conflicts and the ways of their resolution at first depends from the persons’ psychical maturity in them participating. In situation when it fizzle out to unload tensions and conflicts, it comes to crisis of marriage or family characterizing in this, that husband’s and wife’s essential needs or needs parents and their children are not satisfy on a required level. Some kinds of crises can lead to disintegration of marriage and family and in a long term to weakness the internal coherence characterizing in neglecting the persons’ duties and duties in relation to children, the consequence of this is break-up of the marriage and family. From the formal sight it express as a figure of divorce or separation. Each divorce confirmed by low means emotional, psychical, economic and parental divorce. In a consequence weakens or annihilates emotional ties, the division of property follows among getting divorced sides and disconnection one of them from caring over juvenile children. Moreover the age, state of the child’s health, degree of emotional sensibility, fear about new condition of life can decide about positive or negative the child’s behavior to divorce of its parents. Counteraction would depends disintegrating conflicts on creating family community, spread in a proper family communication but mainly for preparation of a young person to life in a society, at marriage or in family.
