I'd like to hear from you people out there on what is your stand on this issue. I think its about time already that we open our minds and try to look on the issue on a positive side. As far as the catholic church is concerned, i guess this issue is not debatable because as a catholic country they like to make it appear to others that family is indeed important. Whatever it is that the couple is going through, no matter how bad situation is for both parties, divorce is or should never be a way out. Couple should force each other to stick together despite the irreconcilable issues. Who are these people to dictate or judge us from what is right and what is wrong? Is it really important to project a good image even though we are suffering because other people are in an abused married life. Are the ones opposing this issue clean enough to speak for those who are for divorce? Hypocrisy is always been the thing in the catholic church, it has been there since the age of the friars. We all live in a democracy, and the word doesn't serve its meaning if we continue to be hypocrites and be martyrs. We are all entitled to our own happiness.

In my own opinion,morally, I don't approve of divorce. I believe in the sanctity of marriage, and before two people go through marriage, they should be ready and strong enough to face the good and the bad things that they may encounter in the course of their married life. Divorce is just a proof that they involve themselves into something they are not really prepared of. However, I understand and respect your point that it is better for the couple to go on separate ways than imprisoning themselves in a commitment that no longer have respect, love and integrity...but as long as its possible, I wont go for divorce...

What is moral though? How about those married couples still living together but just to make a front for other people to admire their family but the truth of the matter is that really don't care for each other anymore because they both have different partners already. How about husbands fooling around with their wives and vice versa? They are forced to live together or if separated, they live immorally if that is the term other people would call because they are deprived of having a freedom from their marriage.
