Have children, God told this to Adam and Eve and said that should “be Fruitful and Multiply”, some people may not physically be able to have children, may not have enough financials to support the life of a child or children.

“What God has put together, let no man separate.”
Liberal Christians, like the Church of England may disagree with this as they believe that if a marriage suffers abuse within it then they should be able to divorce.
Roman Catholic Christians, do not believe in divorce and so they follow this very strictly. If people do separate, then they go through a process called annulment, which is the dissolvement of the marriage. There would be no proof of the previous marriage, they wouldn’t say that they would be re-married but just say that they are married.
