Quote From: flthomcatIf s/he did it TWICE, who's the common denominator? (as Dr. Phil would say). It take 2 to tango. Both people are responsible for making a relationship work.
Marriages are supposed to last a lifetime. They are supposed to be committments before God, if people are Christian. And it seems SO many people want big church weddings these days:)
Too bad most of us humans spend more time working on our careers and planning our social lifes than we do working on our human relationships. I'm not directing this to you or the poster; I'm making a general statement. With our country's high divorce rate, you KNOW there's a sad problem...
"Marriages are supposed to last a lifetime." No offense but as a christian, this is an unrealistic xpectation. catholicism for one, is against divorce, particularly those who are devout catholics. I know a man who has chosen to stay married to his spouse despite verbal abuse and alcoholism. He has said he would never divorce her and I say....more fool him. Many catholics do get divorced. As to other religions, I don't know. If there is abuse of any kind in a couple, then divorce is the best way if problems can't be worked out.
If all couples lived according to christian principles, then we'd be a homogenous society....incredibly dull.
There a multiple reasons for divorce, church weddings or civil ceremonies. To stay married until death, while that's possible and doable for millions, for others, it's not their reality. Best to get a divorce, move on and be happy than stay in a miserable relationship.
