When most people mention protecting marriage it's when the issue is gay marriage. It's not that i disagree with that stance but I feel that no-fault divorce should get more attention. Why aren't people trying to get the momentum going to eliminate it? Or at least have more restrictions put on it. ex: Require that both sides want the divorce or that the person that files to forfeit any alimony payments. No-fault divorce has done a lot more harm to marriage but seems to get ignored.

I hate divorces, all it does is destroys people lives. Divorce itself is not a sin, but the reason behind it can make it a sin.

The idea of no-fault divorce is just one product of our aging hippy population with their anything sexuality goes.I agree with divorce if severe abuse was involved, or some other criminal act that the other cannot tolerate, but theologically speaking, it is definitely not right. And if divorce should occur, then stay single until the spouse dies because who knows if that person will not repent later? God divorced Israel, but He stayed divorced until He died. Then He was free to marry again.People that had more than two spouses I joking claim are on the "marry-go-round".

Hello, The Bible tells us that God hates divorces, Mal 2:16. Jesus gave the only reason for a divorce that is O K with God. The reason is PORNEIA, which many Bibles translate adultery or fornication. The word PORNEIA actually means ANY form of illicit sexual act. This takes in adultery, fornication, homosexual acts, beastiality, or any other sexual act between persons not married.

It's a terribly fallen world. I've never been divorced but I thank God for the blood. I think that often things don't go the way they should. Sadly, whatever is best for all parties should be accepted on a social level. However, I would imaging that a Christian couple would never seek divorce unless their marriage was absolutely beyond repair.

No fault divorce is the product of the thinking that it is no one's fault. As a result you can't blame anyone so a person is free to repeat their indiscresions in a subsequent marriage. After all, if it wasn't wrong the first time it can't be wrong the second time which doesn't breed commitment. As an aside, it is probably the same in most western societies, it is stated that one in two marriages or one in three marriages end in divorce, so who needs marriage. What they don't tell you is that many of the divorces are people who have divorced before. In my country despite one in three marraiges failing, 80% have only been married once. As has been said, its the same people on a marry-go-round.
