Jesus and Paul do not permit divorce for infertility, demonstrating marriage has value beyond procreation

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 20) 00:19:00 – 00:20:30

Extension of the Matthew 19:12 discussion, connecting to Jesus's divorce teaching.

Both Roman and Jewish society permitted divorce on grounds of infertility (Roman law at one point required it). Yet neither Jesus nor Paul lists infertility as a ground for divorce, implying the marriage bond is valid and valuable even without children. This directly counters the idea that intersex persons should not marry. Mike references his 3-hour video on divorce and remarriage for more detail.
