Also, this article isn't suggesting "hating" the partner you're breaking up with at all. It is fully supporting the verses you quoted. You can still give Christian love to the person you're breaking up with. I believe you're confusing Christian love and romantic love.

To the person who left the comment on 7/25/08:
I'm sure you would like to think that breaking up is not biblical, but did you know that even divorcing is ok under certain circumstances? Matthew 5:32
I would think that it is true that God wants both partners to try everything they can, but sometimes it just doesn't work out.
If I am understanding correctly, you think that the first person you start seeing, is supposed to be "The One?" What if at first you start seeing this person and this person seems absolutly perfect, only to find out later when things get more serious, that it is emotionally draining to deal with them. Is this a command from God to have the rest of your life be miserable while living with this person?
There are disorders out there that even counselors refuse to deal with because the person is just so impossible to reason with. Eitherthatortheyfaketotheircounseloronlytodo impossibleunimaginablemeanthingstotheirloved ones.Breakingupisapartoflife.

Break up is not biblical at all. If someone cannot love their partner how will they love their enemies? (Matthew 5:43-44). Christian love is unconditional. If that is true, then there is not one reason to break up.
If you break up with your partner then how do you expect God to maintain the relationship with you too? We expect God to love us unconditionally and tell all kinds of excuses whenever we fail pleasing God. But we don't take one last excuse not to breakup? 1st Corinthians 13:2-8 talks about love. If we have that unconditional love there is no room for breakup at all. We define we limit we measure our own love. But christian should be loving as 1st Corinthians 13 says.
I am really sad to hear people do break up and try to justify that are doing it biblically. Break up is sin too on Gods eyes. So better you don't sin.
