Divorce is not a pleasurable experience even when you know it is for the best. It is worst when you have kids as they suffer the pain of watching their parents going seperate ways.
Divorce is not wrong per se but it should be reserved as a last resort. Again this depends on the situation as well. If you have a husband like J Lo had in "Enough", then I guess divorce would be the first an immediate option!
If you have tried to work out things and you still feel that there is no hope for the two of you than there is no point in continuing the relationship. It is best to go your seperate ways and remain friends than living a life like eternal enemies or strangers together.
From a religous point, thee is nothing wrong with divorce.It is more of a social and emotional question.

The Bible says this about divorce...
Matthew 19:9: "I say to YOU that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.”
If a situation is very severe, such as in cases of abuse, total none support, etc. then divorce may be acceptable, but remarriage is not. However, if one of the spouses has committed fornication, then divorce is appropriate or at least acceptable) and remarrige would be allowed.
Matthew 6:33 gave a command and a promise..."seek first the kingdom and every thing else will be added to you"
so if you do that, then there is a good chance that your marriage could be reconciled. When one applies Bible standards to their life, it is amazing how everything around you changes because of the changes in you.

GOD is the one who invented marriage. This is the reason that HE has to be involved in it's dissolution. A marriage is a contract between the two being married and GOD ALMIGHTY! The only reason that I can find in the Bible is for sexual promiscuity of your partner. I would hesitate to even do so for that if the partner was also a Christian. That would certainly keep them from ever being able to legitimately marrying in GOD's EYEs again. I have been happily married to my beautiful wife for 31 years and I would never trade her for anything in this world. We despise even hearing of another Christian considering such a thing. If there is anything that I could say or do that might help, please let me know. (Send a note.) We have been Christians for over twenty years and we have seen a lot in those years that we could gladly share if need be. Please let me know what happens with this situation. Have a great week.

i do not. i think it is wrong to get married without thinking about it and getting divorced.. i believe it is wrong to get a divorce without trying to fix things first... but
what about someone who is abusing you or your children? or who has committed some similar crime against another human?
or if your spouse has cheated on you and either one of you feels it is irreconciable... then its only wrong on the part of the person who committed adultery
and yeah.. if you've tried everything, and its not going to work, then a divorce is in order.. sometimes we make mistakes...
getting divorced because you "just don't like her anymore cuz she gained 20 lbs" is dumb...
but i believe there are reasons in which divorce is justified.

It is wrong to think of Divorce when You can build up a good understanding and long lasting relationship with Your Spouse. You know life is beautiful this way.

Ask yourself. Why should the Church or the Bible be involved in marriages? I am suspect of Religious Empires adding whatever they wanted in the Bible in order to try and and control our lives.
Harmony is harmony; disharmony is the only sin against God. Any verse that does not promote harmony seems very suspicious to me.

I think if there is verbial or physical abuse then divorce is permissible; if you are just divorcing because you just "don't love this person anymore", or didn't really work out your differences, then divorce is wrong.

The Bible says you should avoid divorce unless adultery has taken place.. I think you should absolutely always try to reconcile. I would also not be the one to bring divorce to the table. If the other person does, then that's something they have to deal with with God, not you.. I believe there is always hope.. I would pray to God for Him to help you with this one..

The Bible gives two reasons for divorce: 1) if one is saved and the other an unbeliever and the unbeliever wishes to leave - then let them leave and 2) adultery (which breaks the marriage vow anyway).

I do. But I don't believe its the unpardonable sin. I believe it is the result of hearts hardening toward each other, and it is sin. But I think it is worse to kill each other or to commit suicide (because of the earthly consequences). And like other failings, we ask forgiveness, and God forgives.
