Thank you for the question on divorce and remarriage by Evangelical Christians, “Are there many evangelical Christians who have been divorced and remarried multiple times?”
The rate of divorce among “Christians” and non-Christians are about the same. There are many people who call themselves “Christians” because of family tradition, not knowing what else to call their religious affiliation, or for social acceptance.
If a Christian is truly a born again, transformed child of God, that person knows what the Scriptures says about divorce. It is God’s purpose that the relationship between the husband and wife reflect the oneness of the Godhead of respect for each other roles and functions as well as their individuality.
A Christian can live a disobedient life to the Lord and choose his/her own way. I can’t speak for all Evangelical Churches. Within the Asian churches that I have served in, the percent of divorce is less than two percent. I am not aware of any person divorcing and remarrying multiple time.
If a pastor provides proper premarital counseling, the couple should be adequate prepare for the challenges of marriage. In my premarital classes, the couple has a twelve week session, two hours each session with homework.
There are pastors who give 3 or 4 sessions and then marries them. I believe that is wholly inadequate with the issues of today. They are not prepared for the challenges of marriage, being a parent, and dealing with the in-laws.
If a pastor provides sound and thoroughly premarital counseling, the divorce rate should be lower among Christians. It should be more of an exception than the norm. The fault lies with the pastor by not providing or warning the engaged couple of the challenges in their lives and in their marriage.
SUMMARY: The issue is not the number of divorces, but the adequate premarital counseling the engaged couples receives in preparing them for a life-long marriage.
