Do you think people get divorces too easily?

Question

Two part question:
1) Do you think many couples seek divorce too quickly?
2) Do you think the law is too eager in granting them? As in no fault divorce or irreconcilable differences as compared to abuse, adultery, fraud, etc.

Answer 1

I think in today's age, divorce is just another thing thrown around as easily as a handshake. Just because you get into a couple of big fights or have your differences, that doesn't mean you go right out and get a divorce. People need to wake up and realize that marriage is also a job and something that needs to be worked out.

I hate, hate, hate the excuse, "We got married too young, it just didn't work out..." My grandmother got married at 15 and her and my grandfather have been through EVERYTHING imaginable, but they worked out their differences and are still married today.

I hate excuses. To me, divorce should only be acceptable if you're being physically or mentally abused or cheated on. I can understand that. No one should have to live a life like that. But God, I hate, "We were too young and didn't know better." And that's especially selfish when there are children involved.

Answer 2

Yes i sure do believe that couples today seek divorce and a way out too easily.... Never used to be like this... Where has the commitment and loyalty gone? They really need to work on and try saving the marriage more often then not!!!!

Yes the law is too eaget to grant them... I feel the only time it should be easy is in the case of abuse or adultery or when one person abandons the spouse and marriage with no intent of ever coming back. There should be no such think as a no fault divorce or irreconcilable differences... These are just excuses... Great question by the way... This one sure makes me think... I also found out that anyone can file for divorce now and it is granted even if the other person refuses to sign.. This is sad as this should only be allowed to happen in cases of abuse where ones life is in danger or in the case of abuse to kids or also abandonment.... These are the only 2 reasons i feel that the other person should not have to sign the papers. Besides marriage is an institution and commmitment that should not be entered into lightly and you do say and vow till death do you part it is and i reapeat NOT till one is bored or so called falls out of love or they dont please me anymore or i am being selfish and want more do we part!!!! It is for better or worse through sickness and in health till DEATH do we part.... I wish people would realize that before marrying. There would be alot less divorces and seperations and break up of families that way... Alot less heartache and the Bible says that God hates divorce.

Answer 3

i do think people seek divorces too fast and never even consider therapy first as an option. yes the law is way too eager in how they handle it, as the no fault divorce isn't fair to the person who has been hurt by abuse or adultery, their needs to be a punishment for the offending spouse who caused the problem. when a person seeks divorce too quickly it is usually because there is someone else they are wanting to be with, who is giving them ultimatums, and the marriage has no chance to work. granted all marriages are not going to be able to be saved, but many could if therapy were required by all divorcing people first.if only more people would have to wait longer for a divorce, they might have time to see that maybe they were acting too rashly and and many marriages could be saved if people had to wait and had to think over things. as the more time that has to pass the more chance the spouse who left may experience a change of heart.

Answer 4

1.) I do think couples seek divorce too quickly, but only because I believe couples jump into marriages to quickly.

2.) I don't think the law is eager in granting them. The law just wants both parties to seperate as content and quickly as possible. Nobody wants to stay within the process of a divorce. It's better to just grant them and let couples get on with their lives.

I'm sure you wanted a more elaborate answer. Sorry, that all I've got for ya.

Answer 5

I think some people do get divorced quickly. I think it's because they thought the person would change, they just wanted to get married, they thought things would be better, or the person showed their true colors after the fact.

I don't think you should have to stay married to someone longer than you have/want to. I think divorces can be painful enough that dragging out the process is worse. Some people do just need some good counseling to get through it.

Answer 6

I think marital counseling should be a requirement before any divorce is granted. Yes, I think people are too quick to take the easy way out of their problems and divorce.

Answer 7

Mmm mmm mm, your avatar is attractive! caliente!

1.) Yes I do. We live in a world when we want the easy way out of things and we just don't like to DEAL or HANDLE any thing anymore.
2.) Yes the law is but hey...if they want to divorce let them you know? It's a marriage, not a punishment.

Answer 8

I think that people know when it is over and when it is time to part there heart tells them so i would have to say NO i dont ..
