Divorce? An odd question, I know. But it seems as if almost 90% of marriages end up in divorces. Granted, there's obvious celebrity ones but I mean like divorces between ever-day marriages. I, for one think it's a sad thing and it's happening too often. I feel marriage is a bond until the end of your life. It's also sad for young children who have to experience it.
Your thoughts?

I don't think 90 out of 100 marriages end up in a divorce. It sure is a sad and painful thing for the kids to go through.

I agree. Unfortunately, my wife didn't, and my final divorce hearing is tomorrow morning.

okay, thanks for the percentage. I wasn't sure but it seems like it's like almost all marriages. And TRW are you being serious? (sarcasm is hard to pick up on the internet) If so, I apologise and hope you can get through it.

Sorry to hear that, TRDub.
My folks celebrated 23 years this October. I'm getting married in June '08. We'll see how well I can emulate what they've done.
We actually discussed this the other night. Some people have jump through hoops to be able to get married. And even if they don't, a wedding can cost a small fortune. Divorce is much too easy, in comparison as far as proceedings go.

Actually, you can legally get married in about 5 minutes. Getting legally divorced takes a minimun of about 2 months, with no disputes or children. If there are children or the divorce is contested, then it typically takes well over a year.

My parents were divorced when I was 3 years old. I am living my life just fine, but I wish my parents were still together because I hated going to ones house during the week and then to anothers house during the weekend. I didn't really know what was going on and why I had to leave all the time when I was a kid.

My parent was divorced when I was around 11 -12 years old. I still see my Dad some time. I live with my mum's, though.
And I work with lots of young people (because I was Youth Worker, of course) and MOST of their parents was divorced. We sometime talk about how through the divorced, because I was experienced that myself.
And there is around 85% parents end up divorced. I was wonder if shall I get married in future or not. Because I not want feel suffer if I getting divorced, etc.

It destroys the sanctity of marriage. The sanctity of marriage was obliterated years ago I'm afraid. My parents have been married nearly 30 yrs, but I'm still single and loving it. While I'm far from an expert on relationships I think half the problem is people don't date long enough or properly. They jump into each other's pants on the third date (if not sooner) and never take the time to find out if their personalities are compatible. They figure if they're good in bed then that will be enough. They never stay together long enough to weather any storms while they're dating so the first wind that blows after the wedding really weakens the marriage. Like I said, I'm far from an expert. |

I don't think people take marriage too serious these days. They go into it thinking "Well, if it don't work out, I can just get a divorce". I think people also go into marriage with the idea that the things they don't like about someone will eventually go away and that they can change people. That's not the case and if you have doubts, you shouldn't do it.

I'm not one to go all religious on you, but I do agree with the Bible on divorce: there's only one good reason for it, and that's infidelity.

Luckily my parents have been married for 23 years in December and they will probably stay married forever...I think it really is a sad thing and I'm not sure why so many people end up divorced today....The majority of my friends have parents that are divorced and it's a damn shame...
