Recently within last two month 3 of my friends got divorce and some of friends do have family cases in court. In India where I live, nearby family court lots of family cases are pending. Moreover the Domestic Violence Act and other family laws are favoured to women. As per the study in Indian society it is seen that a tremendous increase in family cases are coming every month. Divorce is going up that is adversely affecting those children. I hope a better strong relationship in married life is much needed here.

Yes now a days value for the marriage is less. In spite of solving the problems in the marriage couples are easily getting ready for divorce. People should be made to know the importance of marriage.In Schools marriage topic should be included as a chapter. As you said it effects the children a lot. Children of the divorced parents do not know the family values as others did.Couple should think twice before taking divorce.

I just found out that a good friend of mine is getting a divorce they have married for over 17 years. I was shocked to say the least I dont understand whats make's a couple go through this after such a long time like that. My husband and I have been married for 9 years now. I think that a lot of people think that it's just so easy to get divorced and the court system makes it easy for them to. there have been plenty of hard times since we have been together but we manage to get through them and work it out. people want things to happen instantly and when it doesnt they want to find a new way

yes, well, maybe there are really people who doesn't wanna make their lives harde by staying married with their spouses. I am kinda not into divorce since I am Catholic but I do respect those who are battered and abused. I believe every problems are just there to keep your relationship stronger. and every poblems are worth talking into. it depends on the situation as well. let's say if your spouse cheated on you, that's unforgivable. but you can talk him into it. and i would try to save the marriage especially if we have kids already. but if in a relationship, we can just end that marriage very easy. but marriage is something deeper.
so my advice is, before getting married, it's much better to know the partner better rather than jump to marriage just because you are inlove.

I don't know if you are married or not. I believe that many young people get married with a very wrong idea of what a marriage really is. It is not always love and kisses and cuddly time. There are times when I do not like my husband. But I am committed to him, and know that love is not blind.
Some days, I'm sure that I am not the easiest person to live with either!

All we can hope for is stronger marriages and better situations. I think that divorce is a sad thing for a lot of reasons. Divorce is very connon here but the ill effects of it is no less. I don't however think that anyone should have to endure abuse. I hope that people everywhere show each other respect and try and work things out if it is possible.

Yes, I think break ups and divorcing is becoming more common these days. Long ago couples tried hard to stay together and work through any difficulties. I read in a book that divorcing can hurt the couple's children greatly in the two years after the divorce. Courts have many applications for divorce in my home country. One of my friends had got two daughters. One is aged eight and the other is two years old. She split up from her husband and is now in the process of getting divorced. My parents were married for around twenty years but divorced when I was ten years old. It would be helpful if someone could give advice on how to have the perfect marriage ti help all those that are about to fail.

Nowadays women are more economically independent and this factor surely has been the superior element in one marriage to wives group. I think this is a good lesson for husbands group in their learning process of how to maintain their wisdom in leading their family life. Failing to excel definitely will be loosing their king title in their own kingdom.

Hello Shamrack!
Same with my country Philippines, lots of couples are separated. We don't have divorse here, but legal separation. Other couples with money spent for annulment of marriage, for the average income, the legal separation, but for the economically poor, they just leave their family behind them and live with another. This case is increasing every year! The learned men and women have short span of patience, thus, they immediately decide to break-up, without considering emotions of the other pair and children. If this is always the case, something will happen with the law of nature that is not good.

Yes I think it is too common. It is truly sad. I guess it takes more work than some couples think, to stay together.

Unfortunately, the spirit of divorce is worldwide and is crippling societies everywhere. A strong family makes for a strong country. The intact 2 parent family is God's design to build strong, healthy children of good character. It is IMPERATIVE also for their survival and protection. When the family is destroyed, only crime, anger, confusion, and evil prevail. It allows for government and other groups like gangs to take over and counterfeit what would have been the proper roles of dedicated parents, and it is deadly.
The effect on children, as you mention is adverse, and that's almost a euphemism. It is a life destroying and lifetime condition of mistrust, confusion, regression in every area of development, poverty, and insecurity.
God's design for marriage does not include divorce. When man decides his law is can supercede God's law, the consequence is nothing but trouble. The secularization of the world is the cause of so many ills and dangers, and this is surely one. Commmitments and Covenants are meant to be kept - period.

Yes,I feel bad when i saw this kind of divorce,I don't understand why people get married if they can't stay with eachother for a long time.Our culture was famous for it's morals and feelings of person for his/her family,but sadly now we are facing so called modern and practical persons around us.I think within next five year importance of marriage will get abolished.

I think cases of divorce are increasing in number cause there are already a few people who have God as the center of their relationship as husband and wife and relationships with other family members. I think a couple should be ready to face the challenges that comes with marriage and adjusting is a part of it. If one is not willing to help and adjust with each other's differences then there are going to be a lot of problems. One should be willing enough to eat its pride to make a relationship work.

Well, thats the sad part. I believe that most of them lost their preseverance and patience towards each other. Love is lagging or lost there by leading to the directions of divorce and break ups. Loving can be the best solution.

Its true that marriages are no more that stable as they used to be earlier. Earlier women felt that they are dependent on men so they had no option but to carry on with them. Things have drastically changed now. Women now are capable of running their life's requirements on their own. This has added confidence in them and they no longer be diprived of equal respect by men. This i feel has not gone down well with the men and leads to quarrels and finally divorce.
