never less than the best

Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (JDV)

Deuteronomy 24:1 “If a man marries a woman, but she becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, he may write her a divorce certificate, hand it to her, and send her away from his house.
Deuteronomy 24:2 If after leaving his house she goes and becomes another man’s wife,
Deuteronomy 24:3 and the second man hates her, writes her a divorce certificate, hands it to her, and sends her away from his house or if he dies,
Deuteronomy 24:4 the first husband who sent her away may not marry her again after she has been defiled, because that would be repulsive to Yahveh. You must not cause mistakes on the land Yahveh your God is giving you as an inheritance.

never less than the best

The intent of this instruction seems to for those who marry to not settle for less than the best. God wants our marriages to be happy. I’m glad my wife settled for me, but she could have done a lot worse. Happy marriages show off the fact that our spouses are gifts from God.

Thank you God, for giving us the very best!
