DEFINITELY YES !!!!!!!! Marriage is what it is UNTIL DEATH. When you speak those words " TILL DEATH DO US PART " THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS. It matters not how many times you say " I DO " , the ONLY one that matter is the first one. THE MARRIAGE COMMITMENT IS A COVENANT THAT MUST NOT BE BROKEN WHILE BOTH SPOUSES LIVE,EVEN IF THEY THINK THEY MAY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE. God is NOT a God of compromise. God takes vows very seriously so all of us should do the same. A vow is a vow. God gave reasons for remarriage , it was when your spouse dies, but as long as your lifetime spouse lives you ARE BOUND by the vows you took , the bible says it is better not to make a vow , then to make one and break it. Divorce should never be an option no matter what. DIVORCE MEANS QUIT and it's the coward's way out like is killing oneself is. No one fells out from love , they fell out from commitment. People who said no to this question could care less for any commitment and to honor commitment and to honor values & morals. You make a commitment than you honor that commitment that is being a true person of integrity . Say what you mean & mean what you say !!! The hard core truth & fact is marriage is a lifetime commitment !! ONLY cowards & quiters won't ever give their 100 % into any commtment because they quit at one thing and it goes through into everything else in life. It sad to say it is the snowball effort. How about starting and finishing one thing at a time which we need more people with that attitude in our society. Can't doesn't mean you can't. Can't means you've chosen not to. People loves to say they can't to anything. Life has no limitations, except the ones you make. Life is not consequences. Life is decisions.

NO! However, marriage should be a holy union til death but people do not take the time to really get to know the person they marry. They marry for the wrong reasons and rush into things. Some people are not compatible and realize later and so they should be able to divorce. This will keep people sane. No sense in staying in a marriage that does not work and end up killing each other. That is why so many women end up in prison for killing their husbands. They did not get a divorce or was too afraid to.

Yes, especially since it's an abomination to God and it's not fair not to have gay marriage but to have divorce.... People wouldn't just jump into marriage if divorce were banned. They'd take it seriously and there'd be LESS abuse. Probably less on welfare too.
Could keep it as a last resort, but make it so difficult to obtain, like in the United Arab Emirates, that people who truly need it will be the only ones to get it, and others will give up and try to keep their marriages.

No. While I think we are a bit of a divorce crazy country, you cannot ban it. Some people need to work harder to save their marriages, but this is not true in all cases. In the cases of abuse, to the wife, the children....how could you ban divorce.

Domestic violence,emotional,mental and physical abuse is running rampant in our country today if we ban divorce there would be many many many more cases then there are..and if you have children it would cause alto more tragic outcomes if the parents aren't getting along and are forced to stay together then if they could get out of the fighting environment and still have wonderful relationship with both parents...if divorce gets banned then they better ban marriage to or get rid of weapons and get more rigid on physical abuse

No way! espicially not in this country. People make mistakes and it could be marrying the wrong person for you or getting drunk and the next day having a cheap wedding ring on your finger with no idea how it got there. There has to be divorce, people don`t get along, people abuse their spouse, cheating, or just not knowing what they`re REALLY like untill your married (thats when the mask comes off a lot of the time).

Humanity has the right to make mistakes ,unless you believe that it's right for someone to be beaten and/or abused in a relationship and have no way out other than death.
Marriage is not something to be taken lightly ,but not something to be taken too seriously either, it is a joining of two people in love and want to share their love with each other and their friends and family if that love should die then the point in that marriage dies and therefore there is no marriage and divorce become inevitable

I think couples considering divorce should be made to go to mandatory counseling because it seems that marriage is taken too lightly because divorce is an easy "out." I don't think you can ban it because sometimes it is necessary - people change or fall out of love through no fault of their own.

No way! If it were banned it would just open the door for more abuse. If there were no way out of a marriage, an abusive person or a cheater coud basically do whatever they wanted and not fear being left.

Yes, people should be forced to live in misery for the rest of their lives for having married the wrong person. The impact of their unhappiness on any children should likewise be ignored.
Seeing into the future should also be made compulsory, this would also cut down on incompatible marriages.
