Wrong, divorce is destroying marriage more than homosexuality.  God's idea of marriage is representative of Christ's relationship with the church.  If you think it's okay to get a divorce because you're going through a tough time with someone then you haven't looked at the Bible.  Yes, God is loving and forgiving, but He also has a standard of living, which is clearly expressed.  Christ is adamant in his teaching that the only occasion to get a divorce is if one member of the union commits adultery (Matthew 5:31-32), and even then he encourages the other to forgive them.  Anything short of that is direct disobedience to God and a sacrilege of marriage.  By saying that divorce is wrong you aren't judging someone any more than you would be if you said murder was wrong.  Sin is sin, and it's all the same in God's eyes.  That said, if the deed is already done then there isn't anything to do about it but pray for her, and have faith that she can repent.

As brothers and sisters in Christ, we cannot let divorce become something that's okay in the church.  It's one of the biggest issues in Christianity today in my opinion.

We have to count the cost before we make a lifelong commitment to someone.
