God's ministry includes healing and reconciliation. We were once God's enemy but he reconciled us to himself through the death of Jesus (Rom 5:10). The Lord is our good shepherd who will leave the 99 behind to seek the one he is lost. God never gives up on repairing a broken relationship, so we shouldn't give up on His power to do so either.
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. If not, then it also depends on if one interprets the act of re-marriage (in the case of illegitimate divorce) as a one time commitment of adultery, or continuous state of of adultery.
