Divorce; is this something we should take lightly? In today’s society it seems people divorce left and right, or maybe people marry too fast. In my eyes you vow to God to be with your spouse “through good times, bad times, in sickness and in health”. As long as there is no abuse I believe things should be worked out. Marriage is very hard and you can not call it quits as soon as things are not going the greatest, especially when children are involved.
You have two people living in one house and sharing everything, there are bound to be fights. It some what reminds me of living with siblings except obviously minus the romantic involvement. You are in such a closed environment and around each other a lot that disagreements are going to happen.
God intended for one man and one woman to spend the rest of their lives together. You become one and what happens to the Husband happens to the Wife. You work as a team and not against each other. Even if it means you need to go to counseling. Just because the relationship has gotten to the point of needing counseling does not mean it is the end. There is nothing wrong with having an outsider help to resolve issues you may have.
We need to be sure to respect our spouses and treat them with kindness. The world seems to be set on high speed and we are always going going going and we do not take time to appreciate our husbands or wives. I am not saying everyone is like this but it seems a good majority go through this. Divorce rates make that apparent.

I agree that it seems divorce is so much more commonplace now days. Most reasons for divorce today stem from problems with money. You are right that you take a vow, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer. There is just one thing different now, back in the day those words meant something to people who were faithful and took religion more seriously. Now it seems people don't heed the vow taken and let petty things tear their marriage apart. I think people now are more afraid of commitment that marriage is more out of obligation as opposed to spending the rest of your life with your true love. Sadly, this is one of the signs of the eventual crumbling of our society.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. Divorce rates are increasing and it just does not seem right. I feel like people today get married, just to say that they are married. I just graduated from high school in 2008 and I know so many people, that graduated with me, that are married now. It's almost like they think that it's what needs to be done now that they're all grown up. Well to me, I don't see a specific age range for marriage. If it needs to be at a later age to make the marriage work, then so be it. Basically, I think that the divorce problem is due to people getting married at too young of an age.
ReplyDeleteI agree, divorce is not as big as it seemed decades ago. Divorce rates are sky-rocketing and there is no end in sight. Of course there will always be divorce, but divorce should be when everything you have done in trying correct your marraige has failed. I personally don't believe in divorce. Divorce should be for abusive relationships, not I can't be in the marriage because of money issues, or any other differences. You fell in love with that person for a reason, so try to rekindle the love kids. :)
