What is your view on marriage?

Like most people I think that marriage is a scared institution that is to be cherished. However I also believe that it is a full time job. Marriage takes work from day one. Marriage is not something that should be taken lightly or taken advantage of. I believe that if someone wants to get married they should be truly ready and not "just doing it". Getting married for the wrong reasons is a waste of time and money and therefore is often pointless. I do favor divorce if for the right reasons. For example if the spouse is a threat to the spouse of his or her children then he or she should consider a dissolution of marriage. I think that a divorce should only take place if one party is threatened or if one or both parties are unhappy and to the point of no return. Divorce proceedings should not be taken lighlty and should not be pursued in a temper tantrum. Divorce proceeding can be lenghtly and financially, emotionally and physically(be cause of stress) expensive not only for the two parties but for any children that are involved. Children tend to suffer the most from divorce because they often feel responsible and are often subject to bitter custody proceedings,spy tactics (parents use children to spy on each other), and as weapons for a parent to get his or her own way. Both divorce and marriage should not be taken lightly as both are commitments that have long term consequences and effects.

I think that marriage, is beautiful and well the most important thing that when you marry someone that you love them, and ask yourself is this someone that you would love to spend the rest of your life with. I don't believe in divorce. Only in certain circumstances such as infedility or abuse. Although, I think with infedility that it can be worked out if the people in the relationship are willing to work on their relationship. Although, thats were love falls in. Because if you love someone then you would not cheat on them. The reason that I am against divorce though, because well I guess that's just how I was raised and in my religion, divorce is something that is not incouraged, unless the person has been unfaithful and abused. Although, my parents have divorced. My mother has felt the same way. And I guess sometimes, some relationships are unfixable, because, my mom tried to keep the marriage together, and my father no longer wanted to be in the marriage and he had cheated on her, that was the reason for the divorce. But I guess in my opinion, that divorce is okay for those certain circumstances above.

Marriage is something sacred,performed in front of God. No one can destroy it. before getting into married life,one must make sure that they are really ready for it because it is not something you can just leave and get out of. I don't favor divorce because this will only give people the chance to "play" with marriage.
