Is divorce a sin if no one was unfaithful?
What if church folks divorce, without biblical cause...is this a sin for them? Or would it be a sin to remarry?
There is so much divorce in the church anyway, I wondered what your thoughts were on the matter...

I find nowhere the bible allows for divorce and remarriage for any reason other than fornication/adultery.

Re: Is divorce a sin if no one was unfaithful?
It allows for divorce if there can be no peace. The emphasis being on peace. Of course the scripture is speaking of a believer and non-believer.
1 Corinthians 7:14-16 (King James Version)
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. 16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

Re: Is divorce a sin if no one was unfaithful?
Till death do you part. Even if you picked badly. 
No, really, I am not for these no-fault divorces. If there's abuse going on, that's one thing, but just because folks can't get along or agree on how to wash the dishes or what color to paint the front hall???? Put your pride aside, and work at it!
At the most, separate until you have a cooler head, and then try to reconcile. Divorce? I don't think it's the right thing.

Re: Is divorce a sin if no one was unfaithful?
I don't believe in divorce except for cases of unfaithfulness or fraud.
In the case of unfaithfulness, I think I would be more inclined to forgive than to divorce, but it would be a VERY difficult situation to handle.

Biblically, yes.

Moses allowed divorce to help save the lives of wives, because some men were so hard hearted, that, if they had no other way out, they would kill their wives.
But divorce is not God's original plan. Jesus said that not all men can receive this truth.
He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. ( Matt 18:11-12)

Ah, but the question added "remarriage" into the equation. That is the kicker, IMHO. I do not believe divorce is a sin at all. Otherwise God committed sin when he gave Israel a bill of divorcement ( Isa 50:1).

I believe divorce is allowed for any one of the three "A's".
1) Adultry= Unrepentant pornia ( Acts 15:20). Includes all forms of sexual immorality.
2) Abuse= Violent psycological and violent physical abuse.
3) Abandonment= Failure of an able-bodied husband to provide companionship, food, shelter, clothing, physical protection for his wife and children.
If a woman leaves and he starts EXTREME stalking and EXTREME threatening her, she should take him seriously. If she has a dad then should take care of things. If she has none, then she should do what ever she has to do to prevent him from killing her, and her children.
