Henry Schorr's main point is that God's ideal for marriage is a permanent and exclusive relationship between one man and one woman, and that divorce is not part of God's original blueprint for marriage. He emphasizes that Jesus' teaching on divorce is not about heaping guilt on those who have suffered divorce, but about understanding God's heart and challenging all to honor God's ideal for marriage. Schorr encourages singles to hold high God's ideal for the permanence of marriage, to be careful about jumping into marriage flippantly, and to seek the Lord's confirmation and wise counsel before making a commitment. He also cautions married couples to hold high God's standard for the permanence of marriage, to communicate effectively, and to prioritize their relationship with God and with each other. Additionally, Schorr reminds the church to extend love, grace, and support to those who have suffered divorce, and to embrace them with the same love and acceptance that they themselves have received from Jesus.
