So here's where I really struggle with this. I have a friend who met his future wife in their twenties. She had been married before, but then the guy turned verbally and physically abusive. This is a side he had not shown until AFTER they married. She wisely got out and got divorced, and cut all ties with him. Later she married my friend. Almost thirty years later, they're still happily married and have two beautiful grown daughters, both of whom are now in healthcare and will make the world a better place. I just can't imagine that God would have wanted her to stay with someone who hid their true self from her and turned out to be a literal monster, and I also have a really hard time believing that He would want her to stay single for life (unless he died) because he had deceived her.
