I would agree as well. And I believe people in general give up too easily in marriage nowadays. That situation isn't one of "giving up too easily".

I do not see the point of marriage either but just curious do you have children?

Agreed. The current legal and social structure not only doesn't provide an incentive to get married, but actually provides disincentives.

I hear what you're saying Im just pointing out that many believe that indecent sexual immorality or adultery that is unrepentant and ongoing is reasonable before God’s eyes for permitting a divorce.

Have to at least give them a chance to get help. If they are unwilling or it just doesn't work. Then it doesn't leave you much choice.

Depends on how miserable. Plenty of married couples care for each other, but the spark is long gone.
This is the most half-arse/bullshite excuse for any divorce IMO. "The spark is gone"
. If you want a truly deep and great marriage, this "spark is gone" excuse needs to die.
Just a hint to anyone that isn't married yet plans on getting married. The "spark" without a doubt will seem gone in your marriage. Its guaranteed. If you think thats a reason to divorce, just dont get married.
I think too many women grow up thinking marriage is like television and those fairy tales. You reap what you sow. If you think walking about to an alter, muttering a few words, and having a giant party is the point in which you stop getting to know your spouse, you've lost. Marriage is not a downhill thing, marriage starts you at the bottom of the hill, and you have to work your way up, but when you get higher on that hill, the view looks more and more beautiful.
The catch is you have to be patient, willing to do things you dont want to do, and persevere.
I could go on for days about how stupid I think people take marriage. Its a fricking game, or just another "step" in life.

Very true. It's not about feeling madly in love with your spouse for the rest of your days. It's about building a life, even the mundane parts of it, with someone you love and want to share your life with.

Ok so I am going through a divorce right now. My wife decided to divorce me. I don't cheat, drink excessively, I work hard to provide, am a nice guy, and was told this past weekend I am a hottie (by some random woman at an LSU game watch).
No one still knows why she decided to divorce - 24 years and 7 kids between us.
When is it ok? In my book as a Catholic never in hers it is different I guess.
If there was real physical abuse I could see it. But otherwise I don't see it.
The research shows most people who divorce never find the "happiness" they are look for when they decide to divorce.

That's probably one of the prime reasons.
Look, the current legal and social structure provides incentives to women to divorce. You were too nice, she was too bored. The media feeds her head with divorce porn (like East, Pray, Love), and she thinks she deserves excitement. Then, the legal system tells her, "go head and divorce. If there are kids, you'll get them. If there is a house, you'll likely get that. And, you'll get some money."

If you are looking to another person to supply you with happiness, you will never find it.

I didn't get married for happiness. I got married because I suck at ironing and folding laundry. I am a naturally happy person.

Sorry you aren't happy with your decision. I'm a married guy and it's been great. Would not want to imagine my life right now as a bachelor.

You said it. I think we just have some miserable people in this thread. Everyone wants someone else to do everything for them, solve their problems, make them happy, etc...

Sorry about that, I know it must be painful as I almost went through with it three years ago. I think it is better if she has decided she no longer finds being with you fulfilling. I honesty think that sometimes hormonal/chemical changes cause people to make drastic and irrational changes that they otherwise would not have made. Prayers for you and the kids.

It's completely absurd that you think you have the authority to speak for what God would want.

The Bible told him his divorce was Ok, but others' divorces are not.

How is that absurd? God gave us his holy word in the forms of the bible and the Constitution so that we could know exactly what he would want.
