    The position is this, follow the Bible.
    God's plan is for one man and one woman to be married once, and for life. There are two exceptions mentioned in the Bible, for fornication, and for abandonment. Fornication should be forgiven if it is within you. If the guilty one repents, forgive and remain married.
    If it happens again, remember 70x7, but you don't have to be a door mat either.

    Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

    As for abandonment, well I really can't say abandoned for how long, but that is another cause God approved for divorce.

    There are currently two very well written answers here, but in a nutshell Divorce is a sin (for the reasons stated in the other two answers) that can be forgiven. God blesses marriages. If done properly, God can bless a second marriage.

    Im not speaking for Baptist, i can only go by what the bible says and as they are christians it would be close i hope.

    God, the Originator of marriage, designed it to be a permanent union.
    “I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.” (Matthew 19:9)

    Forgiveness is proper when the guilty party truly repents. This indicates that if the innocent party gains a divorce on the grounds of fornication, he is free to marry another without that being considered adultery. At 1 Corinthians 7, Paul is referring to a separation rather than a Scriptural divorce.
