Do you approve of divorce? Divorce is not practiced here in the Philippines. There is annulment but not divorce. I personally do not believe in divorce because it goes against the very heart of marriage. The reason you get married is because you want to spend the rest of your life with that person. It is a conscious decision, not something that you enter in just because at one point in time you feel good about being with that person. Rather, it is a lifelong commitment that should be honored and not taken lightly. Furthermore, there is no divorce in the bible.

No I don't except under certain circumstance like abuse. I think that it is too easy to get a divorce so people tend not to work at fixing the problem. I am Catholic so it is against the church. And I am glad it is. There was a time when I would have walked out but for that. Instead we worked through the issue.

I really wanted to have a divorce law here in the Philippines. Annulment is not the same as divorce. What if there comes a time that you no longer feel any love with your partner, what will you then? File for an annulment, that may take ages before you'll be granted with it. For now you will obviously say that the one you married is really the right person for you but do you know what will happen in the near future..

Divorce to me is the same as annulment. Both are ending a commitment that two people have made to stay together for their lifes. And in both cases there are humans involved. As marriage goes along the road of life sometimes the two people grow apart and no longer love each other. The love in the beginning was very strong but with the factor of people changing sometimes love changes. I don't believe in staying with a relationship that there is no longer any love. That it is two room mates under one roof with nothing more than that any longer in the area of feelings. This is just my own personal opinion but I believe it strongly.
