Nowadays, The divorce rates are surprising! In my country, for example, for every one hundred marriages, there are 37 divorces.(By the way, my country is Costa Rica).
So, what do you think about it? do you still believe in marriage? If so, what can we do to avoid divorces?

I strongly believe in marriage because it's a sacrament. The sad thing about it is that people would just get married and after a while, when they seem to realize that their relationship starts to be shaky, they engage into having divorce or here in the Philippines, annulment.

personally i still believe in marriages though i'm aware that anullments and divorces are higher now a days. it is just a matter of finding the right person whom you're gonna commit to spend both you're lives together. it is also important to have faith, trust, respect and love in a relationship because those things are so vital in a relationship to survive in the long run. when you decide to marry that person, you yourself made a choice and thus it is important to stand by with that choice. problems may arise in your journey together and so both of you have must work things together. communication is a vital component. you must learn to tell your partner the problem so that the two of you will solve together. upon the arrival of that problem you should discuss it before things would go out of hand. as they say prevention is better than cure.

you are right pwang, man and woman have to work as a team, after all that what marriage is. and as you say, communication is vital to solve any difference or problem. I also believe in marriage and I am happy to see that many here still believe in it. I started this discussion because many of my friends,both males and females, say that marriage is the craziest thing someone can do, they say that it's not worthy, and that they prefer to live together but not married.

that's a very sad reality that's happening right now. i think, the most important thing a couple should do is really to have God as the center of their marriage so that if problems will arise, they always have that Superior One to guide them and to give light to their thoughts, before they decide anything for their marriage.

I believe in marriage because God wants us to be inorder. Imagine you married a lot of women then there will be a lot of problems will be arise. We can avoid of being divorce by our conscience & by being loyal to our partner we avoid aids and other diseases.We have to educate our self on the consequence of divorce & we have to pray always to our creator.

Life is not a bed of roses. Marriage life is not an easy one. One should have lot of patience to leed a happy marrige life. A marriage is not for two people. Chilödren's happy life depends on their parents marriage life. So the parents must not thing only about their convenience. They should think about their children before planing to get divoced.

Marriage is for those people who believe in the sanctity of it. Why would you go into something that you can't stand for? If you're getting married with a way of thinking that there's always an easy way out well, don't get married at all. go on live in. as for myself I have kids and i'm living in with their father but that doesn't mean that i don't believe in marriage. I do, and that is why I don't want to insist it to my partner just because I have kids, because for me if i'm gonna get married i will make it a point that i'll die still married to my man. It's not an option it's a commitment.

I'm married and I'm happy. i never regret to my marriage cos I think it makes me happier, being complete and having more values than before. I never know what will happened to my next life when I got married, but I did it positively. then I prove it that marriage is not bad at all. why people get divorce, maybe, because they don't wanna consider that a marriage is a holy process so they should hold on with their full power. they give up to their marriage too easily. I believe that there will be always way out to every problem we have.
