1 Corinthians 7:10-11

[10] And  unto the married  I command,  yet not  I,  but  the Lord,  not  the wife  depart  from  her husband:  [11] But  and  if  she depart,  let her remain  unmarried,  or  be reconciled  to her husband:  and  not  the husband  put away  his wife. 

What does 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Some Corinthian spouses wanted to abstain from intercourse ( 1 Corinthians 7:1-7), but some others apparently wanted to extricate themselves from their marriages altogether ( 1 Corinthians 7:10-16). [1] Again Paul advised remaining as they were, but he also allowed an exception.
"While Paul displays ambivalence toward whether widowers and widows should get married ( 1 Corinthians 7:8-9), he consistently rejects the notion that the married may dissolve their marriages." [2]
