What is the church's stand on separation of couples?

Math 19 vs 3-10
Separation: it can be defined as a decision to be apart from each other but still married.
Divorce: the lawful termination of the marriage.

Both words should never be used interchangeably because they mean different things.

It is an instrument that he created

3) God created marriage for better for worse Gen 2 vs 24, matt 19 vs5-9

4) Where a partner decides to leave after unsettled issues and the other partner refuses to leave 1 cor 7 vs 1-end
5)Being married to an unbeliever is not a reason to divorce, but when your life is in danger, you can leave.
