Sure, there are (almost) always going to be some principles in any given belief system which are objectively pretty good advice. So following them, whether you subscribe to that believe system or not, is a good idea.
I don't agree that never getting divorced is a good rule, but I do believe divorce should be a last resort. That's a typical problem with religion, it gives all or nothing rules. Aiming to not get divorced is good, trying everything you reasonably can to make it work is good, giving it time is good... but staying in a marriage that is making at least one person unhappy, after all those things have been thoroughly explored, is not good. In my opinion.
