On the same topic…here is a true story.
When my father Z”L was sick, my sister and myself went to see the Satmar Rav R’Yoel Z”L who was then staying in Belle Harbor.
Volunteering was a very choshive woman who came and helped the Rebbitzen A”H in the kitchen. She so looked up to the Rebbe(and who didn’t) that she had the carpets of the Rebbes home picked up and moved to her house so that she could walk on the floors the Rebbe Z”L did(of course she paid for the new flooring of the Rebbitzens choice). Then this lady decided that she wants to get divorced and remarried so that the Rebbe Z”L would be her mesader kedushin, to which the Rebbe Z”L replied “ver zugt az ehr veht dich tzuriknemen”, meaning who says that he(he husband) will want to remarry her.
If the Torah writes about it, then there is something to it.
We know of a couple who lived beautifully and then something happened to the wife and she wanted a divorce. Her husband did not contest and they did get divorced. The wife was not well and then B”H she improved and realized her mistake. They remarried, moved to a new environment, had more children and B”H are very happy.
