Do you believe in divorce?

August 26, 2008 12:07am CST
I am not yet married but for me I don't believe in divorce. The reason why two people get married it is because they knew each other well at the very first since they were boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. In our culture, divorce is not accepted and marriage is sacred as well. I have nothing against people who get in this but this is just my opinion as far as my belief is concerned. Thanks and God bless to all of you guys!

when i was young i really do't believe in Divorce and i wasn't favored of it. But if the two lovely couple turns into wrong way, experienced domestic violence, never been happy anymore,and one party is unfaithfull, its not necessary that we woman or men will be martyr for our relationship because of our cultural practice.So we better to divorce or separate then.

I don't believe in marriage! In today's world it isn't what it used to be. I don't know why people put themselves through that anymore. I applaud those who have great and long marriages, don't get me wrong (my parents have been married for 53 years this year - go mom and dad), but I don't think marriage is a necessity any longer for any of us. I hate divorce! But I wouldn't hesitate to do that if I was in a horrible bad marriage. No matter what the reason (religion or otherwise) people should not stay married in abuse/violent situations. That is no longer a marriage to me.

exactly. the contract is already broken in such a situation. I am getting married soon, but I don't think it is a necessity. just something we both want to do to mark our commitment to each other. the way I see it, we already have the marriage, we just want to have the wedding to make it official.

And that is the perfect reason to do so in my opinion! If you both want a marriage and it really means something to you! Best Wishes for a Glorious future!

as I am to get married next year, I don't want ever to be divorced. but. some people discover over time that they aren't right together, and shouldn't have married. I would far rather see these people divorced than living miserable lives together. all the same, marriage is an Oath, and when you swear an Oath you are leaving a permanent mark on your soul. breaking that Oath can't help but leave the soul a little damaged. but probably not so damaged as a lifetime of unhappiness.

Believing in divorce is an interesting question. It is impossible not to believe in it since it happens every day. However, I am very much against divorce and think that it is has run wild because people don't understand marriage and love. It is so sad that so many are getting divorced and some find themselves divorced again and again. It is crazy, sad, and painful to families.

I strongly agree with your opinion and the saddest part of divorce is suffering their child mentally and emotionally speaking. Me? I'll make it a point that me and my husband to be will be working together as much as we can for the sake of out marriage and above all for the sake of my furure children. Anyway, thanks for your response. It is highly appreciated. God bless!

as someone whos parents separated during my childhood, I don't think it's so bad for children as some say. after all, it's far more damaging on a child mentally and emotionally to live in a home with an atmosphere of unhappiness or worse, abuse. far better for the child that the two are no longer together, but both happy, so that time with either parent is happy.

I am always annoyed when someone says they don't believe in divorce. Because for the most part one party did not ask for it.

yes i do. i mean if there are two people who cant get along at all and are misereable. why not move on and find the person you are meant to be with. and i mean at least try to work it out it shouldnt be your first choice.. it should always be the last. and it should go smoothly for the kids if there are any sake

I dont believe in divorce. Marriage is sacred. And see whats happening to countries that divorce is legal. Marriage is just like buying clothes for some. after they get tired of it, they will divorce and then marry another.

I have nothing against divorce, if two people really cant take the chances and situation, as long as they don't have a child. But I dont know that even myself,honestly I cant do it to my marriage..I have 70% reason to divorce my husband, but still I am clinging to our promises.. Good luck to every body's marriage, what ever your belief is.

Hi my friend! For me, marriage is a commitment between two person. If you are not ready for this commitment, why take it? And if you are ready for the commitment, why break it? Right? Anyway, that's what comes into my mind right now. =)Never mean to step on anyone's feet. =)

I do not believe in divorce. I believe that every issue or every problem that you face in a marriage, it can always be worked out no matter what. Other people that get divorced, I don't agree with, but that is there choice. What can you do. My parents got a divorced, my mom fought till the end to try and keep her marriage together. She too believes the same way. But in the end, nothing could be done, because my father did not want to work on it. I am now in a marriage and I tell myself and my husband that no matter what, we will work on it. He believes the same way as well, he is totally against divorce.

Divorce is for people who really can't take it anymore. If two people hate each other so much, it is better for them to be apart. Here in the Philippines, there is no such thing as divorce, but a lot of people considers their marriage null. In the US though, marriage and divorce is just taken for granted that the meaning of it has lost the meaning of marriage. If people are having problems with their marriage, they should finds ways to work it out first through family counsel or the like before resorting to such.

Definitly not!! Marriage is meant to be forever!! Divorce only becomes an option when you make it one.

My own opnion is marriage is very sacred. It's a vow that it will forever a lasting relationship it's a better and for worst. But not all marriage is based in heaven. I think marriage is for people who really means they are really in love. Accepting even the faults and mistakes of their future partner. Cause no one is perfect same with relationship. Have a nice day!

I do NOT believe in divorce and I told my husband that before we got married. I don't believe in more than one marriage (in other words having an ex husband and a real husband). I was raised in a divorced family, as was my husband. My mom divorced my father for the best reason because he was inappropriately touching me and my sister. And my husbands parents divorced for good reasons to. My mom remarried into a bigger jerk who tried to kill his own child (my younger sister) But he got his own, he is no longer on this earth. But my husbands parents never remarried. His mom is gone RIP and his dad has been with the same woman 8 years but will NOT re marry. For me you only have one TRUE love and that is who you will marry, I believe I did marry him. The only reason I would leave my husband is if he physically hurts me or my son, but I wouldn't divorce him because I wouldn't let anyone else marry him and go through the pain..I am sorry if that made no sense.. Thanks for letting me share.
