Answer 1

well when youre married. just make it so you CANT get a divorce.

Answer 2

I've been married more than two decades now, and i will be able to say with a relatively high measure of self assurance that i will now not get divorced. I am blissful day-after-day that I obtained married, and i don't let a day go without expressing that joy and gratitude. You notice than half of marriages lead to divorce. That's definitely proper, but that implies half do not. So...The toss of a coin as as to whether I could be with the girl I cherished for the leisure of our lives, our could most effective have a quantity of years earlier than whatever fell aside and we needed to section approaches. What is the draw back again? Even supposing i'd lost that flip of the coin, i'd have had some years together with her. That was once sufficient for me then, and it is sure ample for me now.

Answer 3

Take what everyone has said and put it all together and this is what is what you get.

Marriage is for people who truely want to spend the rest of their lives together for better or for worse. These people who should get married won't want to a divorce when it gets bad. They will want to fix their marriage when it gets bad. Marriage takes alot of work and alot of give and take. There is no such thing as a perfect marriage with no fighting and no differences. What makes a great marriage is when there is alot of communicating. This is hard and both parties must be equally invested. If not there is no such thing.

If you are not at this point of commitment then don't even bother. Stay together for a while and live with each other for a while. If you can make that work then get married if not then it is pointless marriage will only make things worse not better.

Divorce shouldn't be an option. They should make divorce so expensive that people will think twice about getting married.

Answer 4

The point of getting married is easy....because people love each other and want to commit to each other. The reason for the divorce is also easy....over time people change. After ten years, the person you said "I do" to, may now be the one you say "I don't" to. There are too many people who let outside influences change who they are. It's a sad event, but I think those who have been through it, are probably glad they had some sort of an out.

And my other theory? If there wasn't such a thing as divorce....our murder rate would sky rocket. Especially if we were all forced to live up to "till death do us part".

Answer 5

What's the point? Well look at it this way. Remember when you were in school? Well what was the point in taking the test if you knew that you could fail? Same principle here. Everyone, yes everyone (regardless of what some say) wish to find that perfect other. But many, many times while our guards (and pants) are down, we confuse certain aspects for love. This in time, shows itself and eventually ends in divorce. Would you rather not have divorce as an alternative at this point?

Answer 6

And what's the point of travelling by plane (or by any other means of transportation), if you can have an accident?


People never think of hazards, until they experience them themselves.


I'm not very afraid of divorce nowadays, as I'm already in my thirties, and if I'll ever get married, I sense that my partner and I will probably not have too many years ahead of us to live a life together and to think of having another one with someone else (or to have the energy to get divorced).
But I must say that the prospect of having a child scares me more today than in other times, as I've realized that unfortunately life is not always what we want it to be...

Answer 7

Just because you CAN get a divorce doesn't mean you have to or will.

I married dh when I was 19, he was 20 (too young in my opinion). We've been very blessed, though, and have worked hard to grow in the same direction...so we're still very blissfully married. We're happier now than we've ever been.

We've been married nearly 21 years & I can't imagine my life without him. I love knowing that he's there for me no matter what. It gives me great security and comfort.

Answer 8

i hope that everyone who gets married believes that it will be forever, but what is the point of remaining a relationship that does not work?? so getting a divorce is just what happens, some people are not as lucky so I think it is good that this option excists

Answer 9

What's the point of your living if you know for sure you will die?

Interesting that "friend" came up with the same question at the same time I typed in the response.

Answer 10

People who are getting married almost never believe that they'll ever get married, and they are the only one for eachother and blah blah blah .

I think divorce was created by the genius who realized one of you will want out eventually.

Answer 11

If you feel that way, you probably shouldn't get married. When you've met the person that you should spend the rest of your life with, you won't need to ask a question like this.
