I've been married for 50 years now to the same loving woman. Celebrated just this last week.
There have been bad times and good times, Wonderful times and horrible times. But that is just the way life is. You work though the rough times and rejoice at the good times. NO ONE ever guaranteed that it was going to be all great times.
Are you for or against divorce?

I suppose the ones who want to "protect the sanctity of marriage" are.

Personally, I can't stand the institution of marriage, but that's just me.
Now, my mother is almost seven years sober and happy. What my dad did was hard, but he's remarried to a wonderful woman whom I'm glad to call my step mother and he's happy. If he didn't do that, leave her, she would have drank herself to death.
So, all in all, I'm for divorce, because sometimes, love just isn't enough. Sometimes people fall out of love. Sometimes there's abuse, neglect, and sometimes, you have to do what is best for the other person, even if it means to leave them.
Some people might say that another person bailed out too soon or didn't try hard enough, or was not mature enough to make good decisions about ... whatever, but that is a personal judgement.
I have no actual experience with any of this. Just another uninformed opinion among many.
There have been bad times and good times, Wonderful times and horrible times. But that is just the way life is. You work though the rough times and rejoice at the good times. NO ONE ever guaranteed that it was going to be all great times.
I also feel that divorces are much to easy to obtain, and so many people get married with the idea that if it doesn't work, divorce is there. Rather than committing to one another doing all they can to work through the problems, they pay fifty dollars and end it.
Not everybody does this, but many many do. This does not mean I feel a partner should try to work through an abusive relationship, there are always exceptions.
People don't work as a team. They cheat on each other. They fight about money.
They aren't mature enough to understand the implications of such a commitment,
so they don't have any idea how to honor it.
If you're in a bad marriage, by all means, get divorced-- but ideally, you should wait
until you know what you're doing before you have kids and/or tie the knot.
I don't see people casually using divorce.
There's pretty much no concept of marriage "sanctity" here, and yet gay marriage isn't even close to being legalized here.
It's because, like most of the rest of the world's countries, in Japan the idea of two men or two women "marrying" each other is mostly seen as insane.
