yes and not just for religeous reasons .. they need to at least make it to where anyone initiating a divorce gets nothing unless they can prove adultry, criminal activity, or mental problems with their spouses ... too many people getting their lives screwed up with kids in the middle on a whim ..

I can think of few things more ridiculous than having the government force two people to live together who don't want to be together. On a strictly legal level, a marriage is nothing more than a contract between two consenting adults to share their property equally. Nobody has the right to tell adults who they can or cannot form a contract with or whether or not they can decide when that contract ends. Other than recording the paperwork and processing divorces, the government should simply stay out of the business of marriage. Relationships simply change over time and it usually isn't anybody's fault when a marriage ends. So there's no reason to assume that every divorce has to be a hostile one or that it's automatically going to traumatize any children of the spouses. Besides, todays laws guarantee that somebody will continue to support those children regardless of whether or not the parents choose to stay together, and they can always have full visitation rights if no abuse has occured in the past.

I don't think outlawing divorce outright would be a good idea; the "extreme cases" tend to make extremely bad laws spring up ALL OVER. Just look at what has happened in the US with abortion laws for an example of bad law made out of an "extreme case".
The state does have a compelling interest in defining marriage, and we DO have a rampant problem with disposable marriages in our country today. I believe the state, if it is concerned with the way marriage is handled, should eliminate "no fault" divorce laws--they are crap! That would be a good start.
Just my opinion.

No I would not. I have witnessed many couples who just do not get along, give a bad example of marriage to their children by doing this, and should honestly not live together as man and wife. What do you think constitutes and extreme case? That is really too vague a description. Anything can be labeled an extreme case.

I love this question. It's all about faithfulness. If you were a true Christian unless your husband was breathing the crap out of you, can't you work it out? Some people are so hypocritical

faith is a various issue than gay marriage - they might't be lumped collectively. we would desire to stick to the point of the form... I an specific the Founders does no longer approve of gay marriage ( i'm specific they could no longer have imagined it) - yet they did have self belief in freedom of non secular decision so we would desire to consistently no longer ban atheism. God does not tension faith or ideals on us the two.

Absolutely not. Following Christ is a choice, not a sentence. People like you scare me.

Do you think you aren't getting responses because they know it is hypocritical?
