Issues of divorce is becoming common nowadays, and it has been an issue too here in Philippines to legalize or not to legalize divorce. Years have pass already but divorce in the Philippines is still not legalized. I do think it is because many people are against divorce the fact that we value family orientation. In my case, my stand about the issue is neutral since I have it look on both ways. It will be for good to have divorce legalized because I do think it will lessen being unfaithful to love ones, but it is also good not to legalized it because to lessen broken family. What is view on this?

Divorce in my "country" Cesspool of an industry. Its just there to fatten the wallets of some cheating or backstabbing ex spouse, those of the lawyers, those of the judges and those of the (non)Family courts. Of course there are good reasons to get divorced (abuse, etc), but I'm seeing more and more cases of gross reasons why divorce is occuring (rampant cheating, "boredom", "starter marriage", its somewhat easy to do, sometimes one can get 70-105% of what the spouse earns due to overassignment, one can keep children away from the former spouse or use them as a weapon against said ex).

Marriage is something that should be worked at. Having divorces at ones fingertips makes it easy to throw the towel in instead of trying to iron out the problems. I am not saying that divorce should never happen but I think it should be thought out carefully and weighed heavily before going down that rode. I look at marriage as a rosebush. There are beautiful full blooms on the bush but when someone reaches into the bush to pick the bloom their are thorns that they come in contact. I have been married 35 years and we had our problems over the years. We worked them out which sometimes was not easy. But I look back over the years and it is all worth it. We love each other and have come through a lot of storms stronger for each situation that arose and we came out of. Divorce is a easy out if soon as a problem arises the people run to the courts and say they want out of the marriage.
