Since God views the marriage covenant as sacred, we should trust that He will be able to repair it. This is assuming the first divorces were due to marital unfaithfulness or other exceptional circumstances

Whether or not any of that applies to ZoeGrace, and if so, how, only she can figure out. In any case, if we are free beings, then she is free to choose. What I asked is why God would want people to stay in a marriage that makes them miserable. Nothing you have said answers that question. If God is supernatural as you have asserted elsewhere, then I suppose he could instantly fix any unhappy marriage if he wished or better yet prevent any marriage from becoming unhappy. But, that is manifestly not the case in the real world including the Christian world. So, you may need to put on your best theodicy shoes to outrun this little problem of evil, bearbear.
