Ellen White addressed the topic of divorce primarily in the context of the sanctity and permanence of marriage. She emphasized that marriage is a lifelong union, and that the marriage vow "links the destinies of the two individuals with bonds which nought but the hand of death should sever" (4T 507). She referenced Jesus' teaching, stating: "In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus declared plainly that there could be no dissolution of the marriage tie, except for unfaithfulness to the marriage vow. 'Every one,' He said, 'that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery'" (MB 63). Ellen White also counseled that, even when difficulties arise in marriage, "let neither husband nor wife harbor the thought that their union is a mistake or a disappointment. Determine to be all that it is possible to be to each other. Continue the early attentions. In every way encourage each other in fighting the battles of life. Study to advance the happiness of each other. Let there be mutual love, mutual forbearance" (MH 360). In summary, Ellen White taught that divorce is only permissible in the case of unfaithfulness to the marriage vow (fornication), and she strongly encouraged couples to seek God's help and work through difficulties rather than consider separation.
