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

    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.

    Marriage and divorce should be available to anyone seeking either. Marriage and divorce are both business contracts, as far as the law is concerned.

    I'm not for or against them, if a couple wants to get divorced, that's their business not mine. No one is for divorces though, no one just wants people to get divorces.

    Generally speaking I'm against it, but not necessarily. For example if someone was wanting a divorce because their partner was unfaithful in the marriage, I support that 100%. I think that cheating on one's partner is the most disrespectful thing one can do, and I certainly wouldn't stay in a marriage if I had a wife who cheated on me. However, if you rush into a marriage and get divorced a la Kim Kardashian style, then I'm completely against that. I just think that too many people have the "Oh well, if it doesn't work out at least I can get divorced" attitude going in.

    I have no moral objection to it. I don't see marriage as a matter of morals anyway, except where those unwilling and/or incapable of making the decision for themselves are involved (children, etc.). Even when you start a marriage with the best of intentions, people, circumstances, and feelings can change. There's no need to force something that makes you miserable and isn't working.

    I don't believe taking that option away is a good idea, but I also believe in working to fix a marriage, rather than end it. But if divorce is the only solution, then that option needs to exist

    It's better for a good divorce than a bad marriage.

    Personally, I can't stand the institution of marriage, but that's just me.

    Saying I am for it sounds like I think it is good. I think it is sad when it happens but it is good for people to have that option as nobody should be stuck in a bad situation. It is none of my business if other people are not taking marriage seriously and getting divorced too readily as some who are against divorce might argue. For the record, I am divorced myself after nearly 25 years of marriage.

    My parents got a divorce when I was a kid. At that age, I didn't understand why they would do that to my sisters and I. Now, I know. My father is an enabler. His mother, my grandmother, was an alcoholic. He grew up being an enabler. My mother has the same problem, and he enablers her too. He'd cover for her when she was drunk. He'd take us to go do something so we didn't have to see our mother like that, but then one day, be realized he wasn't helping her by doing so, he was hurting her. He still loves her, and she still loves him, but he had to do what was best for her and stop enabling her.

    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.

    How the heck can anyone be for or against such things? It isn't like anyone is promoting it as the new, cool thing to do. People do it when they need to do it.

    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.

    Eh... this is an issue that I find difficult. I feel that if two people can't make it work, then divorce is an option. But...

    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.

    I think the 'sanctity' or at least the gravity of marriage needs to be restored.

    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.

    If it's bad...it's bad. Then ending the misery is the right thing. I anticipate a lot of answers along the lines of people getting divorced to easily, but I have never seen that actually happen.

    I don't see people casually using divorce.

    That's not why there's no gay marriage in Japan.

    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.
