Of course it means they don't want to be together anymore. But they made the decision to get married, thus it is the responsibility of their actions. They took the vows.
BY THE WAY, I do believe that divorce is absolutely neccessary in all instances of abuse. In those instances, it's the responsible thing to do. I should have clarified that earlier.

It's people like "Psycho" (yes, that's her actual name, I'm not being rude) down there that make me feel so much better about being a competent human being. =D It's nice to have something other than air between your ears.
I don't like being talked down to or insulted... I have this nasty habit of snapping back.

Partially, but it is also a result of The Soulmate Theory...
"OH NO! Life with this person is not all wine and roses! Worse yet, it's WORK! This can only mean one thing: this person must not be my soulmate. Gasp! I made a mistake. I will just get a divorce because my REAL soulmate is out there somewhere and marriage will be so sweet and easy with them!"

I'd say no. I'm a divorcee and I am currently married to my 2nd husband for 4 years. My first husband and I married when I was 18 and he was 21 despite my family's concerns. I had two kids in less than one year with him and he became violently abusive while I was pregnant with my first born. After having my children, I escaped and divorced him. It's not society that's the cause of divorce, because that would mean everyone, but I think that each situation has to be judged specifically, not generally. My personal experience had nothing to do with not accepting responsibility. Because I accepted and respected my responsibility as a parent, I divorced him to keep the cycle of abuse from perpetuating itself in my children and generations to come.

No you idiot, Divorce is a way to dissolve a marriage that was either a mistake or unhealthy. People that are married that have exhausted all efforts to stay together or stay happy(believe it or not, happiness has a lot to do with your health, ask any person who has ever been depressed)can use divorce as a way out. Not that it matters anyway. Marraige only came about as a way for men to own women and keep them under their thumb to produce heirs and what not. It's one of those things people see as traditional. Some people can't see the forest from the trees and get married too soon or realize the person they thought they loved turns out to be either the most boring person in the world or abusive or a drug addict or a theif or just bad in bed. All of these factors play into happiness and quality of life. Even when there are kids involved, if you are unhappy, get out. Divorce is a wonderful thing. I feel bad for women who were unable to get divorces long ago. Trapped in loveless marraiges of convenience and all that. And believe it or not, that still happens today. So before you assume what society is accepting and not accepting, think about any wrong decision you've ever made in your life that you wanted to do over or not do at all. My parents getting a divorce was the best thing that ever happened to them...they are happier and easier to be around separately. Thank you, and good day. Speaking of taking responsibility....are you responsible for that stupid question? Or did somebody tell you to ask it. LOL

I am less inclined to say that divorce is an example of society's
refusal to accept responsibility for their actions ( it might just be that they can't live with those out comes ) as I am inclined to say that if you look at the reason for those divorces i.e. no fault divorce. this is an example of our society not willing to blame anyone for a right or wrong. as well as the availability of divorces, i.e. on my way to Houston TX I saw a van with a banner on it that said "quick divorcees $30 done in ten min". I think that these are signs of a society that will not accept responsibility or even place responsibility on others, after all it is no ones fault, right?
unfortunately I think that this will become more and more prevalent as time goes on.

no longer all of society; in basic terms the vocal minority. do no longer hardship approximately it. They already had civil unions yet they have been ungrateful for that concession and saved throwing a hissy greater healthful, so now they have been given civil unions call "gay Marriage" it extremely is a completely new be conscious. It nevertheless isn't a marriage. no longer a real one. it extremely is impossible to have an analogous gender marriage on the grounds that in basic terms does no longer be marriage. Take the sport of Pinochle for an occasion. you may have kings, you may have queens, or you may call a marriage once you pair a king with a queen. part of the guidelines of the sport contain affirming a marriage. you may no longer call kings a marriage. you may no longer call queens a marriage. you may no longer redefine what a marriage is as a fashion to alter how the sport is performed. If the be conscious 'marriage' grow to be redefined, then each and every Bible might could be rewritten or translated to specify in basic terms a holy union between a guy and a woman. in fact, interior the Bible, plural marriage grow to be allowed. King David and Solomon had quite great numbers of better halves. Polyandry is likewise allowed. yet there has by no potential in all of background till recently been a gay union. what's occurring is there's a small team of people who're attempting to depopulate the planet. They placed the Georgia Guidestones as propaganda for his or her reason. This positioned a minimum of considered one of their objectives in stone for all to be certain: conserving the international inhabitants of the human race at an undemanding to regulate type of decrease than 500 million. Given the inhabitants is now around 7 billion, meaning they might could homicide greater desirable than 6.5 billion human beings. to place that throughout attitude, if anybody in the international caught the Ebola virus on the comparable time, then those globalists might nevertheless desire to kill 5 out of each and every 12 survivors just to fulfill the utmost inhabitants they might enable. Then they might proceed to kill absolutely everyone they seen to be extra, and persons might desire their permission to procreate. so which you notice, advertising homosexuality is in basic terms between the assaults on the international inhabitants.

It's completely subjective. Not all marriages are ideal situations and not all marriages come about because two people truly love one another and want to spend eternity together.
There are a lot of poeple who marry for convenience or for financial stability. Divorce is a necessary evil in a society that no longer teaches morality.

The word society suggests that we're off the hook individually. Ultimately, while society" makes it easy to divorce, we have the responsibility for staying or leaving. So, it's a yes/no answer.

That's a good question. Sometimes, I was married to a very nice guy that turned into a abusive drug addict. Every situation is different. I wish everyone could be happily married forever.

society is not responsible for divorce.. divorce is a legal way to end the union of two people who are at ends with each other and would probably be better off living separate. divorce just says I am no longer tied to you. so if either person decides to marry again, the ex cannot just reclaim the person as his wife/husband just cause they feel like it

Kind of seems that way in most of the cases, doesn't it? Seems like most have the self-centered attitude of "it's not going MY way, so I'm getting out now!" You cannot be self-centered and have a successful marriage, however, if both people put God first, there won't be a problem with self-centeredness and they will have His strength to help them through any problems they face.
