Yes i kind feel that there may be BUT i think that if divorcing was not so easy anymore then maybe people would think twice about doing so in the first place unless they actually meant to lieve by the vows that they promise. The only reason a divorce should be granted is in the case of abuse or abuse of the children, repeated adultery, fornication, abandonment or if the unbelieving spouse wants out and is not pleased to dwell with you. Any other reason to me is not a reason for divorce when there is counseling and help available for marriages. The problem is that people rush into marriage and are not even marrying for the right reasons and it ends up in distaster. Very sad BUT very true. Great question by the way.

Yes, but it would also cause a lot of unhappy adults and children and probably a lot more adultery and higher rates of domestic abuse. Less divorce doesn't mean more happiness, in fact, in many cases it can mean quite the opposite especailly in cases of loveless, abusive and just plain dysfunctional marriages. Studies have shown that children of divorce/single or unmarried parents do much better than children of dysfunctional marriages.
If there should be any law concerning America or any part of the world that wants to consider themselves a free country, it should be the recognisation of gay marriage.
Let the people get divorce. Stay commited if you want, but how does Bob and Sally down the street getting divorced really effect you? Really? It doesn't.

I think people in general enter into marriages without really knowing the legal ramifications of the act. As children, we're indoctrinated with the fairytale wedding at the end of any story and think that wedded bliss is something that we're all entitled to. What a load of crap. Marriage is a legally binding agreement that only mature people should be allowed to enter into. Do I think that 18 year olds have the capacity to understand this type of agreement? Heck no. I think a law that required people to take a course and pass an exam regarding the legal impact of marriage on their lives would be much more effective at preventing divorce than a law that prohibited such. It's sad, you need a license to drive a car but only an 18th birthday to get married. It's awful, really. Marriage is about tax savings (in the eyes of the IRS) because it "supposedly" promotes stability in society which is why they give you a tax break. It's not because the govt cares who you're sleeping with or who you love. The govt just wants you to continue earning and contributing to society. It is my hope that people become more educated before making huge decisions like getting married (or having children for that matter).

For sure! That or there would be a lot of people just leaving their spouses anyway and moving on without the divorce. Remember the old days when it was just horrible to get divorced? People worked things out so much better and learned to deal with each other. Divorce has made it way to easy for people to just give up without really really trying!

Hypothetically speaking, probably.
Perhaps there would be less divorces if we passed a law that required all couples to complete a semester of various courses...

There would be less marriage and even if there was no divorce people would just be leaving each other anyway.

Because of our heart's hardiness, Moses had accepted it for men of the time but Jesus reminded us that His Father hates a divorce except on the grounds of adultery or fornication. People prefer not to listen and think they know best. You see the end result, which is not very pretty!!!

Of course.
But what right does the government have to force people to be married? That's almost as bad as the government saying that same-sex marriage isn't allowed.

Definitely people would actually have to think about it before they got married

Absolutely !!!!! Because only the serious would partake.
but I am sure there would be allot of new laws covering 'de facto' relationships.
