Is divorce a sin?

Question

What if the couple isn't happy together?

Answer 1

Making each other unhappy and staying together for a miserable life is a sin. THE sin.

Answer 2

i'm a catholic, and it is advocated that annulmnt and divorce must be avoided. they [church] makes it sound like a plaque, an omen. but really, that's beside the point. when one is not anymore happy within his/her marriage, what is better choice than to separate while both parties are still civilized with each other? i'm not saying that divorce is a good thing. it's not cause it's against the sacrament of matrimony. but sometimes, we can't always hold our end of the bargain, especially if you're emotionally and mentally drained of the capability to still try to make it work. divorce is definitely NOT a sin. it is a choice made, and it doesn't have to be good or bad. if divorce is what's best, then do it. if it makes thngs worse, then it's simply not a wise decision. but divorce always have to be the last resort. it always have to be, because there are more choices to make that will solve the problem. =)

Answer 3

God in most religious prefs, it is believed that he frowns on divorce but I will say that somewhere in both the Bible and the Quoran, divorce can be the answer to solving the issue of a married couple not being happy. So as far as I know it is not a sin.

Answer 4

Some churches still won't accept divorce but, try and find ways to help couples come together in some manner.

Some people will just jump into divorce when there's other options. There's always counseling, group therapy, separate counseling.

One should consider all options before going into divorce proceedings.

Answer 5

You know, I cannot stand it when people say "Don't get a divorce because of the children". What kind of home are you raising your children in if it's miserable because you hate each other. The children will grow up in a home where the parents show each other no affection or love. If the parents put on a show of happiness then your teaching your children how to lie.

Answer 6

Going biblically a divorce is a sin just to divorce because you are not happly---The only way divorce isn't a sin is when you or spouse are caught having sexually act (fornication) with someone else or your spouse dies-----If the couple isn't happy, maybe they can seek counselling, go on a marriage retreat or something on those lines----

Answer 7

What is the bigger sin... divorce or killing the spouse? I think if you have really exhausted all attempts at keeping the marriage together and it isn't working... get out fast. The more time you stay miserable, the more time you are cheating yourself in the long run. It really isn't fair to either one of you.

Answer 8

Yes. Its Sin. "THINK BEFORE YOU LEAP"

Learn from Indian customs. Most of the marriages there are arranged marriages. Few do not even know each other till their marriage. And their marriages endure till death. The only formula is not to be selfish. There is a saying "Living for the other". Its again a pleasure to live for your partner. If you clearly have the mind set that only the two are going to live together till death and have no other choice, you will never cheat each other. Cheating the partner is like cheating yourself. COMPROMISE and COMPROMISE is the formula for success.

Above all, children will grow with confidance and feel protective. There will be no confussion for kids, WHATS NEXT? WHO'S NEXT?

Answer 9

If the life with yr partner is a hell, you have 2 options...
1- if you have child(ren), you must stand this hell for the sake of yr kids..
2- if not, try to give her or him another chance and ask some of yr best friends of both of you, to reconcile, if the hell start to go out, it is great, but if it enlarges day by day, the divorce (which is a very cruel word) may be the last solution...

think over and over..
good luck

Answer 10

Sin? There is no sin. That's a religious schtick. If you want a divorce get the damned thing. There is no god to judge you...never was, is not now...or ever will be.
