The Mormon Church is Ok With Divorce

Divorce isn’t exactly celebrated in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but it’s not strictly forbidden either. To call it quits, both spouses need to be on board, and their church leader has to give the green light. Plus, the church offers support through classes for couples hitting rough patches in their marriage.

As divorce rates climb in Utah, the Mormon Church isn’t sitting idly by. It’s stepping up efforts to prevent divorces and lend a hand to those facing one. The church is very much committed to supporting families and fostering healthy relationships, even when things get tough.
