The great majority of Christian denominations affirm that marriage is intended as a lifelong covenant, but vary in their response to its dissolubility through divorce.

According to the modernists, what was needed was for Christianity "to introduce a more humane code sanctioning divorce". [10] The Evils of Divorce.

It differs from annulment because it dissolves a valid natural (but not sacramental) marriage whereas an annulment declares that a marriage was invalid from the beginning. [6]
