You hear about divorce almost all the time. Should it be made easier to obtain or should we try to discourage it. If you are divorced and are comfortable talking about it, what problems cause divorce? and what is your take on it??

I feel divorces are to easy to get now, especially no-fault divorces. I've never been married but I have had a few friends that have gone through a divorce before and then started dating their ex all over again. If they would have been a bit more discouraged, maybe they would have spent more time trying to work things out instead of going through the whole court thing just to end up together again. I think a big part of the problem is people step into marriage without thinking it though and end realizing the mistake they made to late. Couples should spend more time with each other before making that commitment to make sure this is the person they want too spend the rest of their life with. A lot of people want to rush it hoping to hook their mate and that usually ends badly. Hugs, Tianna

I think it should be easier to obtain just because there are people out there that obtained a divorce because they were beaten and were in fear of there life and I think it is awful that they stayed with the person longer for the reason that it would cost them so much to obtain the divorce . I a lot of these cases it is the fear of not being able to support themselves and their children why they wait as long as they do and with the added cost it takes one to obtain a divorce this would fall into the category of where would they find the money to do this . But I also beleive that the reason they make it harder to obtain a divorce is because there are so many people today who have been married two , three and four times and you have so many familes that are so extended because of all these marriages and then you have so many singles parents trying to raise their children on their own and this is hard on the children . I believe the logic they see is that if you have to work harder then maybe you will reamin together and many will give it a shot because of the price it cost and how difficult it can be to obtain a divorce but like I said for those that are being abused this sometimes will cost them their life !!

You know- I personally have a problem with divorce. If you're not in an abusive situation, you need to try to work it out. My husband's father left him, his mother and baby sister when he was 2 years old. He took the car, and the cash and went to NYC. My husband had no contact with his father until he was in the 8th grade...and still won't call him dad. We try to look past it, but I really can't seem to forget about what he did to my mother-in-law. I have very little respect for anyone- man or woman who would do that to their family. I guess vows don't mean anything to anyone anymore. I know when we took our vows, we were very serious...still are.
