Hello people , here in my country there are many people who likes to get married.
but after 4months of their marriage they divorce eventually.
why get married and divorce after a couple of months. it sound ridiculous to me.
i dont know why , for them its marriage is just like a game. but personally i think marriage is one of the most important part of our life. it can decide what our future generation will be and your status in life in the future.
if you got a son or daughter would you want them to get married and divorce eventually? NO.
i just dont understand some people who are like that.

Unspecified country? You might want to change your profile!
I don't think anyone marries with the intention of getting divorced! It just happens for various reasons. Many young people, although they don't know it at the time, just aren't ready for the commitments of marriage. Others find that they don't know their spouse as well as they thought they did. Sometimes, it is purely a practical separation forced by career moves. Whatever reason, It wasn't expected when they said "I do".

hello!
divorce are not rampant for just youngster... it can be also to couples of 10 years or more, it can be widespread to those who are living together 20 years or even higher.
I just don't understand their requirements to be engaged lifetime. Maybe effecting factors are the cultures & values we are into. I think our government, our parents who raised us, the church... has a piece how can us be mindful and be rational to those reasons of differences. And we, as the main player must be motivated to the true meaning of christianity.
Sorry... i'm not implying in negative... i'm from a country that divorce is a no-no... we are in great respect to our church that even they are not in the "check & balance power" in our goverment they are very well-regarded to let us comprehend that we are also a disciple of God. And being His advocate, we should also follow His divine rule.... that's the reason I think why divorce in our country is not conceded... but hek we have annulment! What a dismay!
I just hope that my marriage life will be lasting and so with others... so that we can't be in situation that we will endure something unpleasant!

hi nic!
well, marriage is one of the 7 sacraments that Catholic should undergo. For me marriage is very holy and it should be done once. Marriage is not easy because you are supposed to be marrying 1 person in your whole life. It is not a game that after your not happy your just going to have a divorce
Regarding with the divorce, I strongly disagree with it. I hate people getting divorce with there partners then marry another. Sad to say but many country nowadays legalize divorce and the people in it accept it as a normal pattern of human life

yes, I think that law (legalized divorce) can be abused... If no one's willing to be in control to patch thing up & settle thing positively... they will end up divorcing.
Marrying nowadays is so easy and so is divorce! I'm glad i'm from a conservative country & raised with cultures & values that are beneficial to my being. Of course I'm also thankful to my parents that raised me to be respectful.

hello nicolas,
I don't think people planned to get married and then file for divorce.
Not in sanity people will ever do that.
People get married because they loved each other and even want a lasting relationship.
But if these things are happening,it is because people esp the young ones are to impulsive and think that divorce is the best resort when things went wrong with their married life.
But i don't believe that married and divorced is ever plan in the first place...it's a never.(for sane people again)
have a great weekend and WELCOME TO MYLOT

I agree, it's really unplanned... But having a stable relationship requires something to be successful. We can do something ahead for our relationship to be lasting and can't leads to divorce. We can have a specifications to make,... like the companies struggling to be stable. We can use a guide & associate with our concern to be triumphant...
We should follow the rule of disagreement: "one by one, let each other talk"... "we should listen to each others concern with respect although it is argument"... "then harmoniously settle things up"... "meet halfway in case no one's really want to be obidient to follow each fancy"... meeting halfway means accepting his or her vulnerability... by that, unquestionly you should love her/him unconditional...lastly... "keep the love burning!

Hi,
From my point of view, Marriage is only once in my whole life.
Before I decided to get married, I have to make sure that I got the
right life partner and he is the Mr.Right for me.
But of course, life is hard to predict.sometimes people may tend to change after
staying together for few years or maybe it can due to other reasons and then
quarreling start to come out and then lead to divorce.
Of course, having a family for couples is not just a word in mouth,but couple has
to walk and work hand in hand to build up a happy family.
I don't agree to those people who get married and then divorce again unless
there is a valid reason to do it.

I do not understand it either. People nowadays tend to consider oview marriage as a commodity or a food that once they get their tongues burned ,they can easily spit it out.
I'd not wish my children to get married then have a divorce eventually. I'll not instill that kind of mindset on them while they are still young.
they must view marriage as sacred and they must their lives with virtue.
I think this common practice especially in the western countries has gone wayward. And as parents we should teach our children how to become responsible individuals so when they finally want to get married they will work on the relationship responsibly.

yes, you are right! As a responsible parent we should lead our children to path full of values that will mold them not only to be a good children to us their parents,... a citizen to this world that's full of reservation,... but also to be a good christian that will help this world a better one.
With that, all people for sure will not go wrong... we will be honorable with all our undertakings... & if we will be binded by god in marriage, we will not turn Him down for being divorced. Praise Him!

wow, four months is a very short amount of time. I don't know why this would happen. I have met people who got married and then years later got divorced, but I can understand that sometimes people grow in different directions. Still, how much does a person change in four months?

Of course I don't want my children to get married later & be annulled afterward (hek we have no divorced in our country, Philippines)!
I'm raised in a conservative country but glad i'm rational. And if & when it calls for it, i'm not against with it... of course if the reasons can be resolved, i'm willing to patch things up to the best of my effort!
I heard some reasons for annulment is personal differences... in my personal view, i think if you have children to suffer the consequences of being annuled nor divorced, why not patch things up if the reasons can be just selfishness to just the two of you?! think for the sake of your children... for sure they don't want a broken family! I believe that nothing in this world can't be amicable. Just put God in the center of each relationship & He will lead the way. In the first place we are marrying a person that is lovable at first... just keep the love burning... we can do it!!!
But if the reasons can be lethal like being battered... whoooa! Go for annulment without hesitation!

here in my country once you get married to a certain person its not easy to get divorce because its against in something in the law of marriage and the church.
thats why it takes so long to get divorce. you better choose the better person to live with than marrying early that you not sure of.
