 God hates divorce.

He does not hate the people that go through it but with that, I would say that divorce is wrong. In the vows of marriage,m it is said "through good and bad, sickness and health etc".

My ex left me and I am beginning to see why. I was traveling for work and home on the weekends. I found myself becoming very depressed. Had she resisted the divorce and tried to help, maybe I would have found ways to get help. NO, it's not her fault nor do I blame her for divorcing me but looking at the big picture, if more people would look through the bad and try to help, the US would be a much better place.

 Right.. It's not a debate it's a question.. But my answer is No. I am against divorce.. Divorce, for me is not the best solution for a relationship.

 People should take marriage more seriously and try to work things out. Especially when children are involved. A couple should stay together., however some relationships are toxic and emotionally damaging to one or both of the partners and in that case they should indeed divorce.

 "til death do us part!"
divorce is wrong
unless continuing to take part in an abusive
marrage may lead to death
you have chosen to be with a person for the rest of your life if things aren't working out that kinda puts the blame on you
so divorce is very wrong!!!!!!!

 Divorce is good for those couples where both aren't interested in each other.
But when one of the partners is interested in keeping up then it should be tried best to keep that relationship, After all "We should prefer those who love us, instead of those whom we love". This theory always works.
But, when divorce is unavailable then God help the "In-Love" partner to survive in future.

 I think that divorce is wrong because their kids might think that it's their (the kids') fault and blame themselves. Plus, their grades might suffer and they will be sad.

 As i went trough a divorce myself back in Holland i am for it my ex divorced me in 97 after leaving me with a 2yr old son after the divorce we had joined custody over him he stayed living with me as i stayed put in one house and my ex kept moving about and she filed for full custody in 2000 so i said i can do with you can and filed as well so after all was investigated we had to reappear in court in Feb 2001 i came she never showed nor did her lawyer so the judge had to hold it off for an other month in march she never showed either so the judge had to rule and as expected did in my favor so i was granted full custody i knew that by the end of march and all my ex could do to hold that back was appeal but the judge gave her one month to do so she never filed so i had full custody which she can never appeal again as she let it roll its course.
The only sour note i had out of the whole thing is she was already pregnant before we even were divorced which made it easier for me to get over the whole thing, i met my present wife online she came over to Holland lived a yr with me and my son we got married in 2001 and i never could get a better understanding wife then her. I can understand that people would like that people stay together no matter what but as another saying goes in Holland roughly translated "the jug goes so long in the water till it breaks"meaning you can only take so much till you snap and divorce is a safer way of ending a bad relationship then murder because that would be the next option

 While I don't think divorce is always the answer, certainly it is if you are in an abusive relationship, fight constantly, grown apart etc.
Kids know when things at home are not right. My mom and dad separated when I was two years old. My mother told me that she knew that if she weren't happy, I wouldn't be either.
It's logical.
Kids should never be used as bargaining chips or put in the position of "choosing"a side.
Many couples are happier and kinder to each other when not married. It isn't a black and white question or answer, nor should it be.

 Divorce is sign that something is wrong. Maybe not morally wrong, but we should do everything possible to ensure happy and healthy marriages.

 People take it as an advantage because they think there is someone could be replaced why don't people who do the same divorce do it with their Parents or siblings because they cant do it. Blood is thicker than water.

 Well as sad as it may be, there are times when divorce is inevitable and justified. I'm actually completing a divorce I didn't want, but my wife adamantly demanded. There was no infidelity on either of our sides and the divorce happened due to her selfishness and continual resistance of God's son, Jesus Christ. When we are not under Christ, then we are of the devil and his desire to destroy my marriage is resulting in a divorce against my will. "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."

 Not only is divorce against what the bible says, but it also ruins a childs life. And if you aren't in love when you guys get married then you shouldn't do it. Although I do think that if one or the other is beating the other spouse then that's fine.

 I am divorced and re-married and so is my Ex. My husband was divorced. I believe a marriage should be sacred and do it only once, but people are people and they screw up and make mistakes, some of them unchangeable. So NO, divorce IS NOT WRONG, but it shouldn't be "the easy way out". Only used as a last resort

 A marriage should not be entered into lightly. It is a work in progress and in that context there has to be some give and take, by both partners, in order for it to last. Life will throw some pretty big boulders in your pathway, not all of them will be easy to work around, but if two people are committed to the marriage and are willing to sacrifice for the good of the relationship it will be well worth all the effort.

Once a child is inserted into the equation the whole context of the partnership changes. Choices should always have the best interest of the child as the first priority in any decision that is to be made. The family unit is the main building block of society. It is within this environment that our children, the next generation, get their first lessons on social interaction with others.

What is the message that we send to them with a divorce? It is something that sould only be done as a last resort if there are children involved.

I am not advocating that anyone shoud stay in an abusive relationship.

 If you are just asking is it right or wrong? Then its quiet obvious that, its a very wrong thing.

We all should avoid such an unhealthy practice unless and until we don't have any other option.

 If they CAN"T be together then they shouldn't have to...
It would just cause more problems if they had to stay married

 Divorce is wrong because when you share love you mess it up and hate each other. And marriage is a very powerful thing.

 Divorce is wrong if the only reason to do it is because of arguments, money, or religious views.I was raised that divorce is wrong. That is why it took me so long to get married. But after two years we were divorced. The divorce was wrong for us because of our reasons. I know the bible says that if you have a spouse that commits adultery, that would be grounds for divorce. But at the same time I don't believe God would want someone to live in danger and fear for their lives or that of their children. Even if you get divorced, it can be forgiven. Though it may cause some trust issues in the future, you must be careful with your heart. Thank you.

 Divorce isn't wrong but it should be used as a last resort. Unless there's any abuse involved then it is best to leave the situation.

 There are just some people who should not be married. And let's face it, marriage is more often a civil union than a religious one. If more people married in a church and participated in a church, they may find themselves staying closer and staying married. But what do I know, I've been divorced--more than once too.

 Yes it is a failure of sorts, but so is marrying the wrong person. If their is abuse in the relationship, should one stay and allow themselves to be killed? I think divorce is sometimes the only choice.

 Divorce is not an answer to a problem. It is the end. Divorces are too easy to obtain these days.

 Divorce itself is just the legal process of ending a marriage. Surely no one can argue that it is always wrong. If an abusive spouse wants to stay married but an abused spouse wants to end it should the victim suffer more abuse by being criticized for it?

 I think divorce is the only way to settle some relationships. It may be wrong in some peoples eyes, but until you get in a situation where a marriage isn't working then it is hard to understand.

 Without bringing religion into the picture divorce is not wrong. When 2 people dont get along anymore, they shouldn't have to be forced to be together. You went into your marriage all happy and I'm sure you never thought about divorce when you got married. But sometimes people change and things change. There are many reason why a relationship doesn't work. As long as you didnt marry each other like its child's play then divorce is inevitable at times.

 Divorce is wrong in gods eyes but hey lets face it it isn't in mine my husband was a cheat he abused he turned out to be a bum who quit working 1 year after we were married after 8 years I could deal with it anymore so yeah I am for divorce just didn't know which side to put it on

 In the bible it states that one is not to divorce unless their spouse cheats on them. However, I do not believe that God wants you to stay in an abusive or controlling relationship. So, from my beliefs you need to be sure before you make a promise or vow to God that you will remain with this person. Divorcing because of finances, or trouble getting along is wrong. All marriages have their share of difficulties, and learning how to communicate is a learning process. Marriage should not be taken lightly and unless as stated above, divorce is a sin.

 I don't think divorce is worng. There may be thousand of causes for divorce. It is better to leave than stay with mental pressure. But divorce should be on the basis of mutual agreement.
