If you agree on divorce or annulment, please give a plausible reason as to why to convince someone who thinks otherwise...
Like someone who gives this reason:
Two people joined by God cannot be separated by man...
Please don't give reasons like:
Because they're stupid! Because they're damn martyrs...
or something like that ^_^;...
You can give as many reasons as you want...I'd really appreciate it!
I need it badly...Thanks in advance for the help!

Since I don't believe in god I couldn't give a **** about what supposedly he thinks we should do. I believe in divorce and annulment. People make mistakes no 1 person is meant to be with only 1 person. It doesn't effect me either way if you want to get married 10 times if are not happy why should you suffer because you got married. You can't predict the future how do you know it will work out. More power to the people who stay married once. Good for them. This is not a perfect world

Divorce is acceptable on grounds of cheating or abusive behavior. Even mental and emotional abuse is enough for divorce. Most everything else can be overlooked or worked out. Marriage should be for life.
Communicate, Articulate, have your needs met and compromise for your wants. The two are separate individuals sharing a life together. Each of the two bring something special to the marriage. If you want more feed back, feel free to email me.

If you are in an emotionally or physically abusive marriage, or if the person cheats on you, get out. Believe me no matter how long you stay they don't change. I wasted 11 years waiting for the big change and now is new wife is waiting.
Life is to short to spend it with someone who doesn't respect you. It's not about convincing someone that it is ok. If it is you then you already know how you feel, if it is someone else they won't make that decesion until they are ready.
Don't spend another day in a relationship that is not working. Today could be your last, so don't spend it unhappy.
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back a few generations ago, people stayed together because they had to & they thought it was the right thing to do. My parents should have gotten divorced, but instead they argued. They say they are staying together because of the children. I think its better for the parents to separate amicably that to argue for years in front of the kids. As far as your Bible quote....the Bible was written by men. Whole other discussion. I have been divorced twice. The first one (11 years) got on drugs. The second one got violent & threatened to kill me among other things (9 years) It wasn't like I didn't try.

I believe in annulment. There are times that marriages shouldn't have happened in the first place. Divoce on the other hand is the easy way out of a marriage. People think once it gets hard..get a divorce. Our society looks for the easy way out.

Why should two people who really don't want to be together anymore stay together because they made an error of judgement in getting married in the first place?
You can't make yourself love or even like someone if the feelings are not there, best for both to go their seperate ways.

You get one life- this is not a dress rehersal. If its not working, either change it or throw it away. You were not joined by any god- you are married because you get a license from the City and someone signed and filed it. Organized religions make of rules they they, thenselves ignore.
Please go start a new life if that's what it takes.

How about this: We were joined under the eye of god and with his consent, but under the laws and by the hand of man. when we divorce, it will be the same. By the hand and law of man, but under the eyes and with the consent of God.
God does not want us to live with another and be bonded when love is absent. That is a crime in His sight. Sex and marriage without love is sinful.

Because sometimes people make mistakes. They might have married young, their outlook on life or personality might have changed as they matured, they might have been misled about the other person's character, or any of a number of reasons. Why not let them end this marriage and be happy?

I think divorce is only acceptable in cases of repeated infidelity or abuse, mental or physical. Annulment?? Why does this exist? If someone was once married, you can't say they were never married. Or how can you say we don't recognize that they were married? That I don't get.
