God's design for marriage is a union between a man and a woman, and it is not an absolute commandment for everybody. Some people have the gift of being single, and it is a unique gift of God that should be maintained because it puts them in a position to be used by Him in a very unique way. The Bible teaches that marriage is normal, but it is not an absolute necessity for everyone. Christians should not divorce their partners, except in the case of adultery, and even then, the divorce is allowed, but remarriage is not.
