Should heterosexuals be allowed to divorce?!


Question: Nearly 60% of all marriages end in divorce despite what "the church says" and despite the "sacred vows"....

Heterosexual divorces negatively affect 11 million children a year...in the U.S. alone.....

70% of heterosexuals who "re-marry" are divorced within 5 years.....

So the question remains ....should heterosexuals, once married be denied the right to divorce and be held responsible for preserving their "sancity of marriage" ?

If they weren't, it would be a helluva possibility of
"Sanctioned Genocide".

Sidenote: If gays want to marry, why not--don't they
also have every right to be as miserable as straights?

It depends on if there is abuse involved or not.

no because sometimes its better that the kids dont grow up with constant fighting and tension in the house.

Yes. People shouldn't be forced to stay married if they don't want to.

I think divorce is wrong. You make a choice, you gotta stand by it, and work things out with talking, not by separating, because, like you said, it's wrong religiously and causes children to suffer.

No.
Some people never should've gotten married in the first place...
Others just cant stand the test of time.
My parents divorced, and honestly, we're all better for it. It is confusing to my younger siblings, but at least they wont have to put up with all the crap I did growing up.

If that were a law you'd see a lot less people getting married, I'll tell you that much. Besides I could give a rat's *** what the church says. Playing with alter boys is wrong and way worse that divorce, but the church still does it.

Yes of course. Unfortunately it is a necessary evil in today's society! But what would the alternative be? Murder??????
Personally I am in favor of five year contracts with options to renew!

I know. There are a bunch of hypocrites in the world. My parents - not calling them hypocrites though - have five marriages between them and six if you add my step-mom.

I have not gotten married because I do take it seriously and I do not care if gay people get married.

Well, the "sanctity of marriage" still exists, but society simply doesn't take it seriously. I think a lot of people get married thinking that if it doesn't work out, they can just divorce. That's the problem.

You can't make it illegal to divorce, though. Actually, in the Catholic church, it is only recognized if you annull the marriage, even if you are LEGALLY divorced. If a couple cannot give proper reasons as to why their marriage is illegitimate and should be annulled, then the church does not consider them divorced.

if they are not happy why not... you want to talk about negatively affecting a child.. let that child come home to a fight every day... let their parents stay together (for what ever reason) be unhappy and argue b/c they just don't like eachother anymore... and see how that kid turns out compared to a child with divorced parents...trust me its better to let them get away from eachother...

Umm yeah divorce should be allowed. In religion there is free will and in government, you have the right to the pursuit of happiness. Saying divorce isn't allowed seems to go against both of those things. 11 million kids are affected by divorce a year but how many others are negatively affected by living in a house with married people who should never have gotten married.? How many kids spend their days watching their married parents fight both verbally and physically? How many of us grew up not really believing in love or marriage because we spent so much of our childhood exposed to a bad marriage? I personally was happy when my parents finally got divorced it meant I didn't have to listen to them yelling at eachother anymore and that after a fight I wouldn't have to walk around the house discovering all the newly broken items. Maybe more time should be spent helping people decide if they should get into a marriage and less trying to force them to stay in a bad one.

Not for any reasons that arent unbiblical. 1 adultery, 2 abandonment,3 abuse.For any other reason they could have times of separation but still be married and unable to legally marry someone else.

Why specify heterosexuals? Do you think it's different for homosexuals? The very phrasing if your question suggests that you're looking for a "no" answer, but I'm going to have to disappoint you.

I don't see where any caring God would feel it necessary to doom his people to misery. People don't just get a divorce because they're bored, they get a divorce because they're tremendously unhappy in their relationship. Banning divorce would force two people to continue making each other miserable indefinitely, encourage adultery, and in many cases result in children being born to households where the parents really hate each other. I've seen it happen, and I can't believe that anyone carrying the title "omni benevolent" would condone much less enforce such things.

So, yes they should be allowed to divorce.

Yes, they should be allowed to divorce. Many times it worse for children in a family where mum and dad are constantly fighting, arguing and otherwise. I think that not having that option could actually cause an increase in domestic violence and murder among spouses, if that were the only way out of a bad marriage. But...then I agree that homosexuals should have the right to marry, divorce and adopt/raise children if they want, as well.

if i didnt have divorce to get out and away from that crazy psycho i was married to, i would have killed myself...i got tired of being beat down emotionally and physically. no truly loving GOD would condone staying in something like that forever. everyone has a right to live up to their own values and beliefs...

YES!!!!!! I can't wait until my divorce is final!

Absolutely they should be allowed to divorce. It is unhealthy for people to be forced to remain in unhappy situations. My parents divorced when I was small and they had such contempt for each other at the end that I can't even imagine how horrible my childhood would have been living with such bitter people.
Human beings make mistakes. People grow apart, they have their differences. Most people don't go into a marriage with divorce in their plans, they try to make it work and sometimes they just can't, no matter what.
The church should not force couples to live in misery and for children to have to live in an unhappy household.

Would you like to be "held responsible" permanently for all mistakes that you've made in your life? Of course you wouldn't. The principle here is the same.

They shouldn't be able to but I've noticed people like to cherry-pick when it comes to religious doctrines. It's okay to divorce but it's not okay for same gender couples to marry. I love it when the hypocrites bring in the old "sanctity of marriage". If we want to preserve that people should stop talking out of both sides of their mouths and get rid of divorce.
