Keep in mind, however, that marriage is a sacrament....
That's the problem. It shouldn't be.

The religious view of marriage doesn't work. The secular view is at least an attempt to make it work.

How is it anti-love to be against divorce? What is your definition of love? That could be the difference.
I almost gave you a cheer for that...

A state contracted marriage is not the same as God's.
but then you shot yourself in the foot. "God's" marriage is difficult to detect.

If a church-sanctioned marriage ends in divorce, does that mean it wasn't "God's" marriage? That sounds suspiciously like the No True Scotsman fallacy.
