Jesus chose to use an adulterous woman, who was divorced 5 times, and because of her a whole town was changed as many believe in Jesus as the Messiah. Divorce has affected many, and it hurts everyone involved in it.  That is why God hates divorce.  But unlike what many churches teach, divorce doesn't disqualify you to be used by God, or for ministry.  Jesus was clear what God's plan was for marriage, and that should be our goal!
