How do you feel about divorce?

[Phil3070]

I really can't say anything about the feeling it must bring upon the child because I've never experienced it but my friends say its rough.

I think its sad that over 50% of American (and maybe Canadian too, don't think it disclueds you...) marriages end up in divorce. I think we people need to think more about it before they get married. A lot of marriages are based on if they like the way they look and not on there personality. Thats way they can't stand eachother after a period of time.

So what are your thoughts on the issue?

[WitcHunter]

Divorce is a sin. Divorce is bad =(.

Yeah, some people need to think a lot more and I think there needs to be a minimum age or something...

[Xenonight2]

Divorce is not a sin in the case of infedility. Or, as modern slang would have it, 'cheating.'

[Saint]

Its not a sin if someone cheated or something. It is if you just get tired of eachoter though.

[Glavus]

I think its wrong, If the couple really thinks they made a mistake and are not liking where they are (Early in Marriage) divorcing would be the right thing to do. But if they have been married for a long time and maybe have kids, divorcing could really hurt a lot of people, plus they have been committed to each other for a long time, does the vow mean nothing?

[Deimos]

people shouldnt make stupid decisions like getting married early on without really thinking of the future, also DONT have kids just to SAVE a marriage because we all know that dont work.

+1, the sin of divorce is in making your ex-spouse become an adulterer by marrying someone else, and in that case it's on the one that initiated it.

[Jakuza]

This is just what people do when a mother and father don't care about each other no more.


Divorce.

[Sandman53]

It seems to have become an easy way out of marriage, letting people not think about what they are doing before they get into it.

Like when people know each other for 2 weeks and get married...

Its become a scapegoat

[lothia]

Is the question should divorice be lower as in the % of people? Well really we cannot do that, it is people being open minded. But you must remember what we are living after, this was bound to happen since the pass of WWII, and what not. Before World War II, hundreds of thousands of Men went to get married before being shipped out, on the returning years they decided they didn't want it and got divoriced. Now we still have many of the same things with the small wars now but since then so many things are easier. Back in those days it was much harder to make a living by your self and support a family, while now adays a single parent can raise 1 or 2 children easier. From this families are not forced to stay together like they use to.

People arn't following their wedding vows. What happend to "Until death do us part," when you get married with someone you can't just back out after a while and act like nothing happend. But there are times when divorce is the only choice.

[kloned]

divorces r evil 'nuff said

[Rayl]

I agree with people having to think more before they get married. Marriage is when you love someone that you want to spent forever with them. And with divorce, all that was a lie. But in some cases, divorce is okay, like if there was an affaire, or your loved one turned out to be someone completly different (like a murder that was never caught etc and you never knew about it until after the marriage)...

[MattAlchemy]

Divorce should become a religion LOLZ. "Don't divorce or you're going to hell and wont meet god!" I feel it will be sad to have a missing parent. My mom's nice so I'll stick around to help her when she's older. My dad eh he smokes, can't blame me. He does something, I have to help. No fair. My mom pays me when I help hahaha.

[availer]

Its very selfish of parents to divorce when theyve had children. theyre pretty much ruining the childs life and further accomplishments. They shouldnt marry if theyre going to divorce. Marriage should only happen if there was a never dieng connection between two people.

[Domokun]

I would say divorce if one of the parents are abusive to each other or the child other then that it is evil.

[Uskae]

To me, divorce isn't a bad thing. Though I do believe that children kind of need the presence of two parent figures in their lives at all times, the fact remains that people aren't perfect and marriage can be pretty socially suffocating. For those saying that it's a sin if they divorce just because they grow weary of one another, see a movie called War of The Roses (excellent film). They basically end up killing each other because the wife wanted out and the husband was clinging on to her.


As a side note: Prenuptial agreements;now there's a sin. I pity Micheal Douglass if he cheats on Catherine Zeta-Jones...I truly do.
