Getting a divorce gives us benefits and the same a not getting a divorce. For example. There are many women out there that has been trapped with a cruel husband and isn't really love at all. Sometimes one of the reasons they can't leave them completely because they cant get a divorce. That is one. So what makes you think people should not get a divorce? For all I know they just can't because of the church sayings, right?

People have different opinions when it comes to marriages and divorce. For me divorce should never be allowed because its like an easy escape for marriages that could be still be solved with proper counseling and communication. what do you think?

Having a divorce is going to be my very last option. That's why marriage is not something that you should take for granted.

When thinking about divorce, there are so many things taken into consideration and if you have children that's the first thing you think about! And it depends on what ground you are having a divorce.

Sometimes a couple may think that divorce is the only way out, but its not the only way, you can always work things out before going to extremes!

To me, divorce is an option only in extreme circumstances. If a man is abusing a woman, I'm pretty sure "a good talking to" won't do much help. Divorce is the better option. My opinion on divorce aside, I do believe that people do result to divorce far too quickly. People just shouldn't be so quick to get married.

I think divorce is the last resort if marriage is potentially dangerous and toxic.
Divorce is reasonable when adultery occurs repeatedly and when a spouse suffers from personality disorder. Domestic violence is also a serious issue that contributes to divorce. Violence and infidelity often lead to fights, abuse, and worse--death.

I know that people have opposing views in divorce, but they have to accept the truth that not all marriages end like fairy tales. We don't live in a perfect world that's why divorce is inevitable. If you get exhausted from your unfaithful or alcoholic spouse, online divorce is the final option you can think of!

I don't think that a divorce should be taken lightly. I would go to counseling first and make sure that there is no hope in my marriage before getting a divorce. I have friends who are divorced and it isn't all fun and games. I would rather put more effort into making my marriage work than jumping into a divorce.

I think if you are in a bad relationship with abuse, then you should get a divorce and a restraining order. I think other people just give up too easily on their marriage. Marriage is hard at times, it's something you have to work at.
I don't think you should stay together just because the church says you should.

I don't believe that it is just because of the church. Divorce means a huge change for everyone that is involved and in most cases, if there are children, they are the ones who suffer the most. I don't advocate staying in an abusive relationship, but counseling and communication need to be tried before resorting to divorce. Some people just don't get a divorce because they are also afraid of ending up alone. Thus, we can't just assume it is because of religion reasons.

I wouldn't want to get a divorce (I'm not religious by the way), because I saw my mom get divorced three times and it's not a fun thing to deal with. Honestly, I'd rather just never get married, that way it's easier to get out... if it ever came down to that. I know that sounds terrible, but that's honestly how I feel.

Maybe as the years go on, I'll become more comfortable with the idea.

I think divorce does come too easily now-a-days.

From a personal stance, I think divorce should be the last option, but if a husband was cruel or violent or even cheated, then I think a woman should be granted a divorce without having to try and fix things up with councelling first

If it is a case of cheating husband or wife, it might be very hard to patch things up even with the counseling anyway. But there have been some cases when other person was able to forgive the cheating party and try to work on the marriage. I guess it all boils down to how the people handle the situation between them and how far they can accepting certain things.

I don't know, maybe they think that it is still best for children to grow having a complete family.

I agree, as the children need both parents. However, I have left my first spouse but stayed friends with him. And both my girls are growing as happy, healthy kids because we are both actively involved in every aspect of their lives as partners. We go to all their school activities together, go to the movies and when it's our turn to have them, we make sure to stay in contact during the day with each other constantly. All I can say is, it doesn't mean that everything has to be bad because the relationship didn't work out. There is always room to keep things decent and pleasant for our kids.

My former pastor said that divorce is allowed in the case of three A's: Adultery, Abuse, and Abandonment. These are pretty self-explanatory. If one spouse cheats, the other can file for divorce; if there is abuse, the abused spouse shouldn't put up with it; and if one spouse abandons the other, there is no point in staying officially married.

like getting married, divorce is a major desicion on one's life that might affect other people's lives but I can say, your children's lives. There are certain grounds that divorce is better, just as mentioned in other posts, abuse is one of them. when the wife or husband is physically, verbally and emotionally abuse, that would be a good reason to divorce.

Even "church sayings" leave room for divorce in certain circumstances. I don't think God wants his children to suffer in an abusive marriage, so if there's abuse, one can get a divorce. Another reason is cheating (adultery). Another is abandonment.
