Just wondering because alot of people, (not only religious people) seem to have problems with it and I dont think anything’s wrong with it...its just another experience you can learn from. Things don’t always work out, its part of life. I know this lady who’s husband treats her terribly and has for years, she will NOT leave him because she thinks it's wrong to. She is miserable and would defiantly be happier by herself (or eventually with someone else) what are your opinions of divorce?

I don't see anything wrong with it as long as it isn't abused. I hate when people say "if it doesn't work out you can just get divorced". I think marriage should be taken more seriously than that.

I do think people should be able to get divorced. It's been more than 15 years since my parents got divorced and they truly had irreconcilable differences in the way they viewed all aspects of the world and themselves in it. Since the divorce they have only gone farther down seperate paths in life.
What I have a problem with is how easy it is to get married(bad enough), and to have a child(even worse). I believe that it should be like a drivers license in that you have to prove a basic level of competence before being allowed to drive. Well, you should also have to prove a basic level of competance about relationships and the person you are marrying. As for parenting , OMG, there should definitly be a parenting license for having a child. To make it less of a shock start out requiring it only of those request assistance of county, state , or federal programs and if they don't pass require all who have direct parenting responsibility ie: any adults in the same household to attend parenting classes.
I could stay on my soapbox on this one for longer so e-mail if anyone wants me to keep going ( It's really annoying that within Yahoo auto e-mails length of text is limited).

I think it can be a good thing. It can also be very sad for the 2 people involved and their friends and family. But it's not the end of the world.
But I also think that if you're heading for marriage #3, you should perhaps stop and consider. And look deep within yourself before taking that step, because it would seem you're doing something wrong. You might want to consider just living with someone instead....
Sorry, a little internal dialog there.

Well, considering that I have never been married, but I would like to try someday; but it scares me. Divorce is just a big part of the world, and I'm afraid that I will marry someone who I love dearly and we would get divorced, because he found someone better. But, if someone is being treated badly in a relationship, then they should get out as fast as they can. Does she want to be another statistic or does she want to live? Tell her to leave him, so he knows what he is doing is wrong.

I was raised in the church & took my vows seriously, however, after 11 years of marriage he got on drugs & became violent & I felt that my daughter and me were threatened, so I left. I tried again about 5 years later. I tried to "help" this one. My second bad mistake. Sometimes getting divorced is a matter of survival & protecting your children.

I was divorced at a very young age and I think it was the best thing I could have ever done for myself. It's a lot better to be happy in my opinion. Next time, I will think it through better.

I think if a spouse is physically abusive divorce is right. However, too many times a spouse wants to "go find themselves" or they just don't try to make things work. Marriage takes work and it has become too disposable.

Think twice or three times if you have children, but other than that why stay in a relationship that makes you unhappy?
