| Is marriage the leading cause of divorce?
Posted: 10/27/2005 8:08:51 AM | WAH WAH WAH!! Why would I waste my time with a insignificant spec like you. Again...people who just "stir the pot" for their own entertainment should not be trusted...especially when they pick fights with people unknown. So please get mad and cry to everyone how you got lectured, told where to go, and warned that picking "debates" with others you dont know could land you in a heap of trouble.  | |

Hmmm marriage, the big M word. You know what works for me? Being engaged. It's more of a commitment than a girlfriend, you have a ring as a symbol of that promise, and you can take all the time in the world to actually take the big step. I know it's silly, but it's means more to me and that's what matters. | |

Posted: 10/27/2005 4:05:57 PM | | OTB-and those were the people openly talking about it...there are people walking around with doubts and not telling anyone, knowing full well that divorce is an option. 30 years ago, divorce was so unacceptable in our society...it has now turned into the norm. | |

Posted: 11/3/2006 5:05:47 PM | | Marriage is not the leading cause of divorce.. People are the leading cause of devorce!! Vows are suppose to be sacred but in this day and age people seem to be looking for more self gradification!! | |

Posted: 11/3/2006 5:44:07 PM | I might as well ask:
Is sex the leading cause of pregnancy?
No, seriously, marriage can be the leading cause of a happy relationship too.
It affirms the relationship is one that both parties want.
The question is, do both parties want to take it seriously?
With the number of divorces, one wonders how seriously the divorcees feel about each other.
One wonders how mutual they feel the relationship is.
One wonders how much they forgot that a relationship is based mutual working out of differences.
We should more blame our approach to the choices we make, than the choices themselves.
Choices can all have good intentions, though if there is no follow through, what good was the choice itself? | |

Posted: 11/3/2006 5:48:15 PM | Don't get me wrong...I'm not against Marriage at all. But nowadays.....Marriage is a business and it's way too easy to get out of it now. In today's age...our society is decensitized and people are way too preoccupied with things just to focus on marriage. At My work right now there are 5 people who are going through a Divorce and they are all with another partner.
This is a very difficult question to answer and I don't think there's 1 answer to this.I really don't think people don't work at it anymore. | |

Posted: 11/3/2006 6:17:20 PM | ABSOLUTELY!!!! Marriage is the #1 leading cause of divorce WORLDWIDE. More married people get divorced than single people, I think ALL the studies on this phenomenon will back me up when I say that in 100% of divorces, the root cause can be traced back to marriage. BOTH of my divorces were caused by marriage!!!!   | |

Posted: 11/3/2006 6:21:22 PM | It goes without saying that people that have never been married, never get divorced.
I think that the main reason people get divorced is because a lot of people have no idea what marriage is to begin with.
To me when a man and woman become husband and wife, a new family is born. So many seem to see marriage in about the same light as any other long term relationship. It is much easier to see oneself ending a relationship than ending a family.
I think that when two people are married, they should be able to be comfortable and let it all hang out. You should feel free to be yourself 100% and know beyond a shadow of a doubt the other person will still love you.
Marriage never was meant to be just about romantic love. That is a very small part of it. I have said it before and will most likely say it again, married love has three types of love: family, friendship, and the least important: romantic.
You should love your spouse like you would your child, be there for them like a good friend would be, and have that playful romantic side too. If you don't feel all of those loves for each other, then you don't need to be together.
I know why I am divorced, marrying in spite of the fact that there was no love at all. Just wanted a family so badly that I settled. When I say family, I don't mean children. I love my children dearly, but never had a very strong desire to have any. If I had been told at a young age, that I couldn't have any, I would not have cared at all. Let others talk me into having children.
I still want to have that family I dreamed of as a child, but now I am not willing to commit to that until I find someone that I love and that also loves me. | |

Posted: 11/3/2006 7:18:21 PM | Good Post! So True!
There is nothing worse than a binding contract that says you must be in a relationship till the day you die no matter what.
Who came up with that idea? If you are a rebel in any sense of the word, then that piece of paper will drive you farther away from your partner instead of cementing the relationship. What's that saying about the butterfly......... Take it to heart.
(yes, I've been married) | |

Posted: 11/3/2006 8:14:58 PM | | That is like asking, "Is being born the leading cause of death?" Obviously, one must occur before the other but that doesn't imply one causes the other. As I understand, money problems is the leading cause of divorce. | |

Posted: 11/5/2006 3:51:22 AM | Life is the leading cause of death. So I blame life for marriage, which thus allows divorce! 
Some people actually "use" logic like this. Tis' sad. | |

Be together for a long time first
Totally disagree with this statement. The length of time is irrelivant. I was with my ex fiance for almost 9 years and did not go through with the marriage. I thought i knew everything about him, turns out i was wrong, there were some things i didn't know.  | |
