Explanation: Concerning divorce, Jesus said that God's original intention for marriage was to have a man and his wife live together for all of their lives as one. However, divorce was allowable for adultery. Fra Angelico's painting (above) depicts a supremely blessed marriage - - that of Joseph and Mary, the step-father and mother, respectively, of Jesus.
