Very good question Miss. I am actually surprised, and impressed with some of the answers I see on here.
Look Marriage, and a civil union are two different things. Marriages are religious, and civil unions are a civil agreement that is brokered by the Government. There for the "rules" of a marriage are very different than of a civil union. Except for infidelity marriage is for life. If a person is too weak, selfish, lazy, too do there part to keep a marriage together they should be in a civil union and make the agreement as they can keep. Here is an example of what that may be

"John Doe do you agree to take Jane as your legal partner for a duration of no longer than five years at which time you will have an option for contractual renewal. Do you agree to the contents of this written agreement"

A marriage is very religious, and sacred institution which should be left alone by the government as much as possible. The only thing government should do is enforce the vows.

If a persons life, or health is threatened then the perpetrater should go to jail a seperation should used.

We live in a world today which totally lacks disapline, consideration, sacrafice, and is totally focused on COMFORT, SELF, PLEASURE, INSTANT GRATIFICATION, TITILLATION, that quits and throws things away when it does not please us anymore. Then we try rationalizing it by saying " in the REAL world" " sometimes it just dont work out"


Marriage is truly a process of two becoming one. Marriage is bout the man, and the women surrendering their will to their loved one, serving them, sacrificing to them, pleasing them, putting their happiness, pleasure, wants, and need before your own. That means on saturday men skipping your football game to take your wife out to a dinner, and a movie, and women that means telling your man to sit back in his recliner, watching the game with him serving him beer, and wings. In other words fighting to serve eachother.

It means reprograming your mind to think of them as a literal part of your body that youll want to serve, take care of, and want to please.

When it comes to decisions within the marriage one person must make the decision of course with the genuine, and logical consideration of their fiance. Their may be two people bikes but only one steering wheel. Imagine what would happen if you had two steering wheels ? Thats why the person making the decision should trully listen to their fiance and honestly give their though, and opinion weight, and thought.The deciding fiance should be logical, selfless, and not be thinking of what THEY want. Then decide what the best direction to go in. The other fiance must honor, and submit to the decision makers choice. It is not easy becoming one, it is a painful withdrawl of selfishness, however at the end it is a rewarding, and fulfilling outcome of becoming part of something much bigger than yourself.

Answer 2

Take a look at the links, are you telling me it is an abomination for a women to divorce a man who does that to her or rapes her or abuses the children. Or come to that should a man who is abused by his wife should have to stay in the marriage.

What about those who are married to serial adulterers?

The marriage vows say "love and cherish each other" what is an abomination is that some men and women treat their partners with violence, contempt and disrespect.

Just because someone makes a mistake and marries the wrong person why should they have to spend a life in misery. That was a real abomination before divorce was available.

I believe that when you tell someone that you will love, honor, and cherish them. In sickness and in health until death do you part that you are telling them that you vow to be with them exclusively for the rest of your life...

I do not believe in divorce with the exception of abuse and infidelity.

I further do not believe there are any excuses for abusing another human being you not remaining faithful to your partner.

A marriage isn't meant to be easy... It is meant to be a loving compromise that you spend the rest of your life working at... Learning about yourself and one another as the days, months, and years go by... You learn to change to accommodate one another through the process of life...

Our elders didn't have the divorce rates we see today but that doesn't mean we have worse problems in marriage... It means that people have become LAZY at putting in effort towards their relationships... At the first sign of trouble or disagreement people will run for their lawyers office or to the court house to file for divorce... Why not sit down like the 2 adults they pretend to be and work things out...

Make an appointment with a marriage counselor and learn to communicate and compromise within your relationship...

Ugh... Society is failing itself and I refuse to be another statistic...

Answer 4

You are short sighted...I use to think divorce was an abomination, but what you don't realize is, that it is cure. Why are people getting divorce, because they got married before the were ready, or they didn't know what they were getting themselves into. It is like saying surgery is an abomination. Sometimes people need surgery...but when people are divorced 2 or 3 times something is wrong.

Answer 5

An abomination? I guess you mean a biblical sin.

In that case, no.

However, I do take my vows very seriously. I've been married for more than 21 years now, in fact. I don't think there's much that could happen to cause me to want a divorce.

I also think folks today take their vows too lightly, and tend, at the first hint of trouble, to look for a way out.

In my view, marriage is, and should be, "for better or worse, till death does us part."

Answer 6

The real abomination is couples getting married without understanding what that commitment really means. Too many are taking their vows for all the wrong reasons.

Correcting a mistake is not an abomination. Who is to say whether or not erroneous human free will was used in the decision to marry against the will of God?

Answer 7

No I believe that divorce is a civil means of ending a bad relationship.

Marriage is for life - the life of the marriage, that is. When that is dead, the two should be permitted to dissolve the relationship - it saves lives.

Answer 8

i believe that in a perfect world marriages would last forever but be realistic. humans by nature are greedy animals and always wanting more or something the other has. besides it was the church that started that whole til death do us part as a way to control it's subjects

Answer 9

Well, considering that I've been admonished for having an affair 8 years ago and people have routinely told me I'm a scumbag for wanting a divorce...I'm really at a loss for answering this question...

Answer 10

I believe that divorce is one of many possible solutions to certain types of problems.

Answer 11

Nothing and nobody is perfect.
People change - and should not be forced to stay together
if they chose not to.

Answer 12

I don't believe in sin but I think divorce is a sad situation and all too common these days.

Answer 13

What Big Jv3 said! And very well said, too. If I could give him more thumbs up, I would!

Answer 14

totally ... its forever for me !!!

Answer 15

absolutely! that's the whole point of "til death do us part" that's not just a saying you know... its a vow!
