The [[Baptist Faith and Message]] (the 2000 edition) states that "[m]arriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime."<ref>https://bfm.sbc.net/bfm2000/#xviii-the-family</ref> However, it does not discuss any grounds on which a divorce is permissible.

The SBC also generally holds that a divorced person, or one who marries a divorced person, is ineligible to be a pastor or deacon (or elder, in those cases where an SBC congregation has them), even if the divorce was on permissible grounds or it took place before the divorced person became a Christian, but this is not specified in the BF&M.
