Do you believe in the sanctity of marriage?

[WTFdivorce]

The sanctity of marriage lies in these choices: to love each other even when you don't like each other and to stay together even when the only thing preventing separation is the simple decision not to separate.

Yes

No

[OlderAndWiser]

When I was married, I respected the sanctity of my marriage, and at all times - even when I was divorced - I respected the sanctity of other people's marriages. If you don' like the idea of marriage, there's a simple solution: don't get married!

[WTFdivorce]

Yeah I agree with that.

[OlderAndWiser]

Thanks for MHO!

[coachTanthony]

Yes If you don’t then don’t get married in my opinion. Marriage isn’t for the weak at heart.

[musicbrain5]

Simple answer, yes of course I do. Not in any religious way though. Just as two people who made a commitment to each other.

If people don’t agree with it, then they don’t need to be getting married.

[AdithyaR]

That's not very healthy tho, why would two people stay with each other if they're not happy with each other.
That's mentally taxing on a long term and definitely doesn't sound it's gonna do them any good.
Now naturally I'd encourage first trying to work through the issues with proper communication and couples therapy. Unless of course there was infidelity or abuse, those definitely need immediate separation.
And i know some people will stay for kids but honestly that's worse. Co-parenting while they're both happy will provide their child a much better environment than being in a fragile situation of living with two people who don't want to be around each other.

[WTFdivorce]

It's about working together and solving issues that affect the partnership then just running.

[AdithyaR]

Like I said, sometimes issues can be worked through and solved with therapy and communication but sometimes it doesn't. In that situation, separation is healthier.

How can I? Marriage end in divorce more than 50% of the time and 90% of divorce is filed by the woman. This tells me best case half of todays women don’t understand commitment. I can’t trust that a woman will commit herself to me forever. Furthermore even she can’t be sure she won’t lose the feels a decade from now and if she leaves she’s likely to get the kids…Especially in Texas.


No. I can’t justify marriage. I don’t believe many people can understand the commitment required.

[VanillaSalt]

I’ve asked women what they bring that makes marriage with the risk but they don’t want to answer. Almost like I’m asking their weight.

[Paul09]

Man created god's, man created religions to control with fear, man created marriages. So it's all b. s. especially with all the divorces. You have to be Lucky to find the "one" , that will be with you till the end. And even if you find "love", why do you need a paper to prove it?

[letuswaltzforthedead]

mostly, I think there's an exception for abuse for the obvious reason that you shouldn't stay with an abuser. Beside that, i do think marriage means you're staying with this person until you both die.

[Anonymous]

Yes. I'm Catholic so don't believe in divorce. My marriage is going well. I put a lot of work into it and love my husband.

[sheenagwapa]

the sanctity of marriage i think means not beinh a woman whore or man whore when yoy already have a spouse

[Astarlessnightsky]

Why torture yourself in a miserable marriage. Everyone will be more happy when you separate.

[AnUglyBarnacle]

Absolutely. Marriage is the basis of a civilized society.

[Anonymous]

Getting married was the best thing that ever happened to me, and over 3 years later it just gets better and better.

[Guy13]

yes, of course.

[clampfan101]

It’s right there in the vows.
When I say my vows I’m going to mean them.

[In_Trance]

Marriage is a control tactic used by the Church and the State.

[Phoenix98]

I do sanctity of marriage yes.

[MountAverage]

No, I think it's complete bullshit.

[Agape93]

Nope
