National Public Radio’s Speaking of Faith has broadcast a great show on Marriage, Family, and Divorce in the Christian and Jewish traditions. It was first broadcast in May 2004.

American ideals and rituals of marriage, family, and divorce are infused with biblical messages. But what does the Bible really say, and how has it been taught across the centuries as the institution of marriage has changed dramatically and often? A rabbi and Christian theologian help us explore the nuances of Jewish and Christian teachings and reveal the striking practicality of Jewish tradition across the ages and the surprising ambiguities of the New Testament.

The discussion on divorce as compared to other modern issues is very interesting.
