Most Christians are generally opposed to divorce but they do agree that sometimes couples have inconcible differences and have to divorce for the sake of their well-being.
Catholics are very strongly opposed to divorce and they almost never think it is an acceptable thing
They do not approve of it because a marriage is a life long bond made in the eyes of God and they are breaking their promise to God
