Divorce and Remarriage - A Difficult Subject

I just added the manuscript of a message I preached several months ago to our church on the subject of divorce and remarriage here. I hold to the view held by James Boice's church, Piper, and others that the marital bond is permanent and cannot be broken except by death. No local judge has the authority to break a bond that God has created. One implication of this view is that remarriage in any situation (except the death of your spouse) is adultery. For many this is a painful message to receive; for others its very controversial. I'd be interested in hearing your comments, criticisms, etc. of this view of marriage, but also your thoughts on how to preach painful and controversial truths in a loving way.
