Scripturally, what are grounds for the divorce of a believer?

Love consecrates the humblest act And haloes mercy’s deeds; It sheds a benediction sweet And hallows human needs. When in the shadow of the cross Christ knelt and washed the feet Of His disciples He gave us A sign of love complete. Love serves and willing stoops to serve; What Christ in love so true Has freely done for one and all, Let us now gladly do!
