Sir Thomas More, the writer of Utopia was later executed by Henry VIII because the writer insisted that divorce is evil, while the king wanted to leave his wife so badly.
What do you think of the concept of divorce?
I just think people nowadays don't take marriage that seriously. More than 30% of married couples end up getting a divorce.. I just wish people really think it through before they get married!

Yes, these days, more married couples are ending up getting divorced. Maybe it might be because marriage today is not seen as very necessary thing to do and is seen as optional part of life. And couples are not pressured to keep their marriage going on. In the past, there were a lot of pressure for people to become married, so they could have children and secure the lineage. I am not sure but that is what some people think.

I think the problem is that what you mentioned. People nowadays don't take marriage seriously. They rush marriage, and don't spend time trying to get to know the person they want to marry. So, when things get rough, they find they aren't a right match and get divorced. Divorce has also become a lot more accessible and common.

I think divorce became something very common these days. People do not view divorce as something bad and it is very well accepted. As Elijah mentioned, people rush marriage and marry someone they do not really like. Some people do not even have ability to find their mate ask their parents to find it for them. I do not think divorce is a bad thing, however, it is something that i will never want to do.

I don't really think it's good that divorce is becoming more and more common. If that keeps happening and divorce becomes even more common, then marriage is just going to be like boyfriend/girlfriend type of relationship. There's going to be no seriousness in getting married.

I agree with you guys. People take marriage and divorce so lightly these days. Most of my friends in America had parents that were divorced. I think marriage should be something serious and you should be ready for the commitment before you get married.

I agree with you Stormy. I think people should actually think about the gravity of the commitment they're making before they go on marrying to someone they're going to end up divorcing. It's really irresponsible of them to just give up on each other just because they don't get along over certain issues. Especially when they have kids.

Now days people are marrying with conditions, for example, women likes people who are rich and rich men just wants pretty women. This means they are not looking at their personality but their conditions. Therefore, they will not know well each other even after they marry and have many both internal and external conflicts which leads to divorce. So I think people should marry with a partner with pure perception.

I agree with you too Stormy, marriage is something that should last a life time, and I think nowadays people are taking it not as lightly as they did in the past. Also, divorce is the same way; People shouldn't take divorce lightly, and should take more consideration of what they're doing before divorcing. Once you marry someone and have kids, you have the responsibility of not only taking care of yourself, but also your entire family. That means that you should be more careful when in comes to divorce and see divorce as the final and last resort if all else fails.

Divorcing is common thesedays. Hmm..but I disagree that people do not take marriage that seriously. Back in the past, divorce was not allowed and even though they get divorced some cultures did not let women remarry. Women had hard times surviving without their husband so I believe that many women would have just live even though they wanted to get divorce. In modern society it is different. Women are able to get jobs easily than before and they can afford to live without men.

I also agree with you. Since divorce is getting more common, I feel like more people are getting divorced. I also feel people are not taking marriage as seriously as they should be.

Divorce has been a common practice these days. As you often see it a lot among the celebrities. They think marriage is just for fun. You be with one person today and then you be with another the next day. Then why the hell would you marry them in the first place? Marriage is to be with the person you love forever until death. And I believe its a sin for breaking the bond especially in my religion. But who cares?

I personally am positive about the divorce issue. In Korean society, many people believe that getting divorced is a huge issue and that people should avoid it as much as possible. I guess I agree in that we should all try to avoid it as much as possible, but I think that it isnt such a big deal at all. If my husband and I do not feel that we should be together anymore, than we should break apart sooner or later.

divorce seems like its not an big factor in todays world. but i think its something better not happen. i think if you are "married" to someone, it means you have to spend rest of your life with that person, so if you dont want that they just simply dont get married in the first place. its not like im against divorce or anything but yeah, i dont think this issue should be consider normal in the society.

I believe people still are capable of making mistakes. It's not that divorce is such a bad thing... it's more that people are making the mistake of rushing into marriage for whatever reason and finally coming to grips with reality.
