My pastor's marriage crashed last year, thou the marriage produced children and the parting seems unreconcilable even thou i think it fell on domestic issues and also the fact that the wife doesn't really flow with the pastoral call of the husband as her pastor husband wish her to.

Recently the man of God was talking about it and he said that he will take a new wife very soon anytime he is ready, and he ask us whether its scriptural but we just giggled and he told us that it is scriptural that we should open the book of 1 corinthians 7:14-15 "for the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband, else where your children unclean but now are they holy; but if the unbelieving depart,let him depart, a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases:but God has called us to peace...

This actually was a little bit confusing to me, since the wife in question wasn't an unbeliever... Is my pastor right with his assertions?

All I see is men judging men. When did ya'all assume the position of GOD I must have missed the coronation.
One thing I know for sure is non of u posters will get on ur knees for this pastor, it will all end here on NL.

Pastor answers to GOD, not u. Stop throwing stones, u're not without sin urselves.

Abeg tell that your pastor to read the context of that scripture he is quoting. Notice the bolded is the standard for Christians today. And the italics is the variable. Even if an unbeliever, the marriage can still work and the individual can be converted.

1Corinthians 7:10 - 13
"To the married people I give instructions, not I but the Lord, that a wife should not separate from her husband.
11 But if she does separate, let her remain unmarried or else be reconciled with her husband; and a husband should not leave his wife.
12 But to the others I say, yes, I, not the Lord:i If any brother has an unbelieving wife and she is agreeable to staying with him, let him not leave her;
13 and if a woman has an unbelieving husband and he is agreeable to staying with her, let her not leave her husband.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in relation to his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the brother; otherwise, your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
15 But if the unbelieving one chooses to depart,a let him depart; a brother or a sister is not bound under such circumstances, but God has called you to peace.
1[i]6 For wife, how do you know whether you will save your husband? Or, husband, how do you know whether you will save your wife?"[/i]

Moerover, The only ground for divorce is adultery. Jesus stated at Matthew 19: 3 - 9
3 And Pharisees came to him intent on testing him, and they asked: “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on every sort of grounds?”
4 In reply he said: “Have you not read that the one who created them from the beginning made them male and female
5 and said: ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh’?
6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together, let no man put apart.”
7 They said to him: “Why, then, did Moses direct giving a certificate of dismissal and divorcing her?”
8 He said to them: “Out of regard for your hard-heartedness, Moses made the concession to you of divorcing your wives, but that has not been the case from the beginning.
9[b] I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the grounds of sexual immorality,a and marries another commits adultery[/b]."

"And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery" (Matthew 19:9). These are JESUS' own words.

Sadly this unstable generation will do everything to justify ill actions. Marriage partner is a choice that bears consequences. Men must learn to live with the outcomes of their choices.

Divorce was not part of the contract, if you read your bible well.... Except on grounds of infidelity.

Else, it's till death do you two apart.
