Again, this is not offensive thread that we're discussing here. You have to understand that marriage is very sacred, people who got married for wrong reasons. That's what it got them divorced in the first place, for a example, people got married for only money, it was never about love, that bothers me a lot.

I remembered the reality show called, "For love or money." It was very offensive show ever to be made. That being part of wrong reasons why people got married to go after money only. So marriage is not toy to begin with! Marriage itself is for people who love each other very much and wants to stay together forever until they died.

I thought that love teach us to be more mature than we were young? That's how love supposed to teach us in the process to learn to love one other, rather than being controlled husband/wife, you know? Just marrying to right person for the right reasons, then we have no problem, right?

I don't want to insult you all, or feel offended that way, please understand that I hate people for being divorced for wrong reasons whatsoever, but I understand very well when it comes to spouse abuse, that's being part of the right reason to divorce to get out of abuse relationship. In a sake of children, of their safety from one parent who could hurt them. All that for the right reason to get out of the marriage.

That's why I was very upset with frivolous divorces.

You miss one pertinent fact. People change.

Sometimes they change together. But sometimes, they don't. The person I am now, is not the person I was 5 years ago. Luckily, my girlfriend and I have been together for 8 years without issues. She has changed greatly in the past 4 years. It's luck, love and effort that we're still in the same place logically and emotionally.

But that's not always the case with people. Sometimes, despite a strong bond between you, you both take different paths. Do you still have the same friends you had a year ago? Two? Three? Five?

Do I feel there are too many frivolous divorces? Yes. But do I feel divorce is sometimes the right thing to do in a situation? Yes.

And you can keep your religious beliefs. They're yours, not mine. If I went by yours (judging by the second quoted block there - I could be wrong), my gay friend would not have the possibility of marrying his long-time partner. This is also missing things like common-law marriage, which isn't a sacred anything. Marriage is as much a legal construct as it is a religious one. This is the distinction some miss.
