Divorce is so common place that unless you've been divorced you're the odd man out. Marriage problems are normal and in most cases things can be patched up. But it's easier anymore to just abandon the entire situation.
I'm divorced and my ex has moved on. He has actually been very good to me. He's the company attorney for a large insurance company, the home office . He married another attorney...how quaint. I am a paralegal and he hired me and I work in the legal department. There's guilt there. He made a mistake and caused irreparable damage to both of us.
Is divorce a weighty matter in the eyes of the nonbeliever? Is marriage sacred or just something legal?

Having married a number of couples, I have a 60% divorce rate among those couples. Most of my high school class are divorced. Sacred marriage is only sacred to those who believe it to be so, we believe it to be so. Legal? The paper is usually. Unfortunately, the paper is only as good as the couple who have signed it. Biblically, divorce is only because of the hardness of one's heart, (will, affections and/or desires). Marriage is defined as two becoming one. If a couple becomes one, divorce is impossible. "ONE" thoughts, intentions and the subsequent life together. It can be done. I am truly sorry of your condition, may you find someone to become one with.

Relationships are a serous matter in anyone's book. What shouldn't they be? Do you think we live in a different world? Loving and being loved are very important to most human beings. Now I have a niece who's ex-con husband stabbed her and left her for dead. THAT's a serious relationship problem. She may never recover fully. He's back in prison. But the damage is done. And she has two children. Would you go so far as to say they should not divorce?

I have no idea how non believers view divorce. As a believer I would like to think all marriages are sacred and solid, however we all know that's not true for so many. I know some people who have endured a lifetime of unhappiness and misery due to the belief that marriage is a sacred bond not to be broken under any circumstances I am not of that belief. I believe when a marriage becomes loveless or unbearable it's time to move on. Life is way too precious and too short to be wasted in a dead end situation. I know children who have suffered emotional abuse simply because their parents held on long after it was time to move on. In a perfect world everyone would live happily ever after... however this is not a perfect world. A side note : The marriage vow ' To love and obey till death us do part ' is a weighty vow to take. None of us know for sure where the future will take us, so I have a hard time with that 'obey' part... anyone who takes that vow should think twice.. I did not take a vow to 'obey' nor would I ever.. A husband should be a lover and life partner, not someone you are sworn to 'obey'.. Do people still vow to obey ?
