Author of Marriage
I have set before you life or death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that your children may live.
.
Can healing come from the wicked?
When their plans disgrace their innocence
I have not given my light to the wealthy
To lead you to eat food sacrificed to idols
For when money and self ambition cloud their judgement
Am I pleased?
Return to your First Love
Escape the snare
Marriage has an author and a perfector
It is a covenant for three
Let no-one deceive you

When things don't work:
When God judges a husband for his evil and gives the wife to another man. Story of Abigail, Nabal and King David. Found in 1 Samuel 25.
About ten days later, the Lord struck Nabal and he died. When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said,
"Praise be to the Lord, who has upheld my cause against Nabal for treating me with contempt. He has kept his servant from doing wrong and has brought Nabal's wrongdoing down on his own head."
Then David sent word to Abigail asking her to become his wife.
.
When God judges a wife for unfaithfulness and causing jealousy in her husband. Found in Numbers 5.
"This, then is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray and makes herself impure while married to her husband, or when feelings of jealousy come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her. The husband will be innocent of wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences of her sin."
