What is your opinion on divorces, I know many people that are my age that have had their parents split up and my aunt and uncle are in the middle of a costudy battle between my two cousins.
I think that divorce is dumb, whatever happened, marriage is forever right! Its even more dumb when kids are involved then you ruin, or change, their lives forever.
Just wanted to know anyone elses opinion, thought, on this topic.
I believe it's perfectly right, because marriage is for people who LOVE eachother, and if they dont, well they got married too soon. If they have kids, well if my parents got divorced it would not be that hard on me. Just my opinion.
Depends on the relationship. If it's abusive, yes divorce should be an option. My proposal:
Make it so that divorcing your wife means you will be executed.
This will make people think incredibly hard about their relationship before they get married.

divorce is wrong </3.
I don't believe in any of the religious stigma surrounding divorce. I think that most marriages are ridiculous, to be honest. They usually happen between people who are too young for such a decision, and its usually done for money or desperation. So most of the time when a divorce occurs, its for the aformentioned reasons (at least, it comforts me to think that
). But it is truly tragic when two good, but flawed, people allow their differences to decay and are reduced to the point of only thinking of themselves.
My opinion: Usually divorce is better than two selfish people destroying eachother and their respective families, but sometimes it really is unfortunate.

Just think of yourself being the kid in the situation. Just because your parents dont love eachother anymore you have to live in two seperate houses and have to travel back and forth.
Well considering the divorce rate in the united states is above 70% and in Eastern Europe it's below 1%, I think that it's possible for people to live together and be happy. By the way some people think they don't care their parents got divorced and it wasn't hard for them well I just want to say that my parents DID get divorced and that it was really hard on me and if i could i would do anything to get them back together even though i know its impossible now.
A wonderful phrase said by a great genius of literature: "Often love is replaced by habbit"
People change, divorce isnt always bad.
My parents are divorced. It has its up sides and its downsides. The good part is when its that time of year to get presents, you get alot more. Bad parts is you usualy don't have as much cash so your 2 houses might be a bit on the small side. Where as if they lived together, I know we'd still be living in our big house before they split. Another anoying part is your constantly going from house to house, packing and un-packing your crap.

Understand that much of the custody law crap is designed to keep each of the parents happy, and is not really about what is most practical for the kid. Its really more of a way (or LAW) to make sure that each parent gets to see their kid(s) so that one parent doesn't withold them just cuz their pissed at the other (I've done this and had it done to me before I took full custody of my kid and set the rules myself). In 99% of such cases, one parent is ALWAYS more fit than the other.
Divorce seems stupid, but it is a needed free ticket out for people who marry based on looks, and other non-love-related things. Otherwise the relationship would become more violent, and might end in rampant physical abuse and drunkedness.

I don't know about you, but why should gifts matter in a divorce?
I'll agree with the rest though.
Sometimes a divorce is better than an abusive household. Besides, I'd go crazy if I had to be around my father all the time.
It's not that I have anything against divorces themselves, but it's why people eventually have to resort to divorcing.
I do not believe divorces are right; as in they shouldn't happen. C'mon I mean, marriage is a lifelong commitment. If you marry someone, you're suppose to love your partner, be respectful and caring of him/her for the rest of your life. Always greet each other, help each other do things around the house, or even spend like 5 minutes telling each other what their days were like. If you don't think you can do that, why commit yourself to this person? You're suppose to be a family; one big happy loving family.

Divorces started because of a lack of being able to have one big happy loving family
Exactly what I've said. Why marry if you are incapable of doing something so simple and crucial.
Sometimes love can change I guess...
I mean, my parents seem like they are going to get a divorce after being marrier 15 or so years, only thing thats keeping them is their children.
I don't see a problem with divorce.
IMO, divorce should be illegal if they have any children they're taking care of them, since my parents were divorced and was one of the main reasons why my life is messed up right now.
