Admin	Divorce Posted : 9 Mar, 2012 08:17 PM Why does it happen? Is it natural or biblical? We as young people how do we look at it? I can ask endless questions about it. I'm curious! Finally, Are we not supposed to be Untill Death Do Us Part? Post Reply
View Profile History	Divorce Posted : 10 Mar, 2012 01:07 PM The pursuit of happiness has led society to abandon the values and principles God taught us. Instead of love being a choice and commitment you make to someone, it's now a gushy feeling utterly dependent on emotions and mood. Add to that the double whammy of feeling they shouldn't settle for less than their ideal person, but at the same time that ideal person must accept and embrace all the faults they have. To top it off, there's no stigma now if you decide you want out for any and all reasons, no expectation for you to honour your marriage vows. Society has become truly miserable because we no longer honour each other, we don't feel any obligations towards others, and even when we receive it, we know it's fickle and unreliable so we don't trust it. Society is no longer built on the solid unmovable rock of God's unchanging standards, but on the shifting sands of what each generation demands as it's "rights". Yes, I do despair when we throw away God's commands, call it "progress" and "enlightenment" and march ever more isolated and alone towards the abyss... Post Reply

View Profile History	Divorce Posted : 11 Mar, 2012 09:53 AM WE are not beyond repair, in fact our creator is at work in us now healing our past hurts, shifting our attitudes and generally repairing what were "broken" people. Society as a whole, though, is a different matter. As long as it seeks to do things it's own way rather than Gods, it's doomed to fail. Of course, society doesn't see embracing foreign gods and detestable practices as failure, but as "progress"; clearly having learnt nothing of the OT history of Israel's unfaithfulness, judgement and punishment. Last week in a UK newspaper there was a report that by 2030 atheists will make up the majority of our country. At the moment we are still a majority* Christian country with even Islam trailing way behind the atheists. *By Christian majority, that is the number of people who describe themselves as Christian. The actual number of believers is very much smaller, otherwise there'd not be any of the anti-Christian developments we've seen happening in the last decade or so. Of course, I digress - none of this is related to divorce unless you count man collectively divorcing his creator... Post Reply
View Profile History	Divorce Posted : 11 Mar, 2012 10:59 AM Great reflection! Again I agree with the fact that the cause of every split and divorce is because of the lack of a growing relationship with the creator. Hope the creation would realise this soon. Post Reply
View Profile History	Divorce Posted : 14 Mar, 2012 10:19 AM In the US, the statistic is that 50% of couples will get divorced. At first this is alarming, but look at it differently. People that get married once and remain married don't divorce. Some people marry, get divorced, re-marry, get another divorce and it keeps going on, so the numbers are skewed. As far as I know, the only reason for divorce in the Bible is marital unfaithfulness, which is committing adultery. I think too many people rush into marriage when they aren't really ready for it.

View Profile History	Divorce Posted : 14 Mar, 2012 12:26 PM There is another reason for divorce...If the unbelieving spouse wants out, you should let him/her go because peace is the most important thing. However if the unbelieving spouse doesn't want out, the command is still to stay married. 1 Corinthians 7:15 Post Reply

shin7scarlet1 View Profile History	Divorce Posted : 2 Apr, 2012 05:06 PM there are number of reasons of why people get divorce 1) Not ready for marriage most of people think that once they fall in love with the person then they think that "I'm very sure it's him/her" and not realizing the important signs that God had shown to them. 2) domestic violence there are some men here that are very violent to their wives. of course there are women that are violent too in fact many women are becoming aggressive these days. 3) Infidelity I have a friend who told me that if the man/wife don't have time to their family one of them has an obligation for infidelity. the problem in here is that one of them forgot or did not understand the vows of Marriage. Marriage is suppose to be like "if worst comes to worst, both should still remain close to each other". God would be so very happy if he sees the man and wife are still intact no matter how hard the situation is. I think our generation needs to rise up again and teach our children how to be loving, caring, strong and be independent. I think we need to bring back the old fashion ways. Post Reply
