I am not against or for it if it happens, it happens sometimes it's actually necessary such as abusive marriages or where the two people have tried their best and marriage still doesn't work

Staying in an unhappy marriage (we don't always know whether our marriages will work out or not on our wedding day) could cause a lot more pain than deciding to split up. Divorce is painful, yes, but the pain can be minimised by seeking counselling or mediation help. I do think divorce has to be handled very carefully though, particularly when there are children involved as they can very easily feel responsible for their parents' problems. Also, it's important for the parents, once split, not to use the children as 'tools' in what might be a continuing state of bitterness against one another.

I think the divorce is a sad thing. But if both of the spouses don't love each other any more and hurt for each other. Then perhaps the best solution is the divorce. Since they don't match each other. Having the divorce can allow them to have a new life. Perhaps they can find their true loves after the seperation. I love China

Divorce is something that we must avoid. Although there are many problems, as much as possible do not resolve the problem with divorce. My wife once told me wanted a divorce. But, I am trying to divorce does not occur. We're still together. Divorce is not a solution. Over the past can still be improved, better try to fix.

Divorce may seem to hurt a lot of people, especially if the couple has children. It also hurts the partner who is being divorced. But when a relationship becomes impossible, I'd be in favor of it. Nothing lasts forever. People change. When love fades, I'd face it, move on, won't blame myself and won't even ask why. Some people opt to stay married for the sake of the children. But exposing the children to fights and a loveless relationship can hurt more than it can help. Why cling to something that isn't there anymore. Some worry about what their friends and neighbors would say and think. But hey, it's not about them, is it?

I think divorce is okay because we cannot force ourselves into living with someone whom we aren't happy with anymore. If a couple isn't happy, then what is the use of living together since every one deserves to be happy. A lot of things can happen to a married life and all might depend on how strong the couple is whether they can cope with it or not. Being compatible with a lot of situations that comes to a married life is very crucial and many couple fails to compromise or talk the problems over so it will not to make it worse. But I do hope couples don't have to go through that and also hope that they can solve whatever that might come to save a marriage because children are involved and can be affected to.

I'm against divorce simply because I want to follow what God commands us to do - "What God has put together, let no man put asunder." There are always solutions to issues concerning married couples. Also, people should always think a thousand times before jumping into marriage.

I think that divorce is a hard thing for a family to go through, but sometimes it is easier, especially on kids, for the relationship (as spouses) to be over. I think that people should go to counseling before immediately calling for an attorney. There are some exceptions to this rule. if the person has physically abused you, get out. Right away, do not wait for the second time, because if you are hit once you will get hit again.

I'm against divorce. I think that when a person makes such a decision sometimes afterward they may realize that things are worse since they got divorced. Some situations though are really bad for example when it comes to abuse. A person then has to decide what is best.

Divorce is a hard thing for people to go through.I'm not for it or against it.It's just something that two people in a relationship do when they are no longer in love or happy.Even if you don't want a divorce but your partner does you can not in the long run make that person stay with you.Divorce is sometimes the answer to a big problem.I have been married nine years now to my husband and I love him but if he wanted a divorce and no longer was happy I would give him one.I have been through a divorce before and it worked out cause it lead me to meet and marry my current husband.I'm happy now.

Divorce is something that couples will be deciding whether they want to stay together or get separated.This is a tough decision with both parties because both of them must decide whether they still want to work for it or not.I am against with Divorce because most married couples abuse this even though they had just a small or big argument as much as possible problems like that will be fine when a good conversation will be done.

I guess it depends on the situation. If the wife/husband has been cheating or violence on their partners. or they are no longer appropriate, because their properties are changed after a married life, and had been unable to repair, then divorce is the best way out. However, if only because of minor issues, which still can be resolved, then I do not agree entirely, if divorce is the main choice.

Divorce is a tricky subject. I personally will not judge anyone because they have or have not had one. God does not want divorce but I feel that there are cases in which it is warranted such as abuse. God doesn't want anyone to stay in a relationship in which they or worse children are being hurt. Just my thoughts.

I'm neither for it nor against it. If it happens, it happens. Divorce sounds like a terrible thing but when you were the one caught in that terrible situation, it wouldn't seem as terrible anymore especially if you were having a bad marriage and divorce looked like the only best option you could do.
