dghan kaau luoy nga bata kong naay divorce.. broken family ksagaran imo kaila TS nahan ka?

aside from the fact that religion is against divorce,

to those who thinks that it's simple as that, esp katung mga naay anak, don't be too selfish guys, for you it might be okay, but how about your children? do you really think that the effects of your separation has no effect on the child? This country is not the same as the US or any other nation where divorce is legal. Some children may not suffer but most of them does.

On the other hand, those who are greatly abused, well there is always prison,

the family is the basic unit of the society, it is where each is molded to become a better citizen

not all religion is against divorce, we should examine closely why some are pro divorce.. and the other side of the coin why divorce should be legalized. Its true there are negative effects of a broken home to the children but generally speaking when relationship has no choice but to separate, the separation will do good to the children to minimize the effects of parents adding burden to their children when they see a home making their life miserable.

i am against it...i still think swerte na ta nga wa tay divorce ( i think we are the only country in asia nga walay divorce). mas daghan na ang mga mahimong irresponsably ani. magpakasal karon kay pwede raman buwag unya...or maparanoid na hinoon ka kay kuyawan ka nga mangita or makakita nya og lain ang imong pares. daghan sad ang OFW ani nga magbuwag sa asawa/bana? we are a christian country. bisan unsa pay isulti, the reality is we grew up believing in GOD's existence. bisan pa og lahi2 na tag pagtuo (nisunod or wala sa bible or religion) i still don't think nga maayo ang divorce.


unsa naman lang diay nang "till death do us part"? ..when love dies, then we should replace it with commitment...

[gingergarlc]

I agree with you EAP, it is what the judaeo-christian scripture tells us... to be committed to your husband or wife...making God the bonding agent of your relationship... although when there is no other choice because of SEXUAL IMMORALITY.. divorce then is permitted. Such many cases in this country where the only remedy is to divorce your partner because the relationship will only bring destruction to each other and even to the children.

@TS: exactly bai..if karon paman gani nga walay divorce daghan na mga immature na tao nga magminyo wa kasabot sa gisudlan, unsa pa kaha if naay divorce. I understand bai nga we are in a dilema. Daghan pabor & they are waiting for this a long time. but just imagine kung naa nay divorce sa ato bai..sos, wa pa tay birth control, mag divorce pajud..magpuno nasad og bata ang mga immature parents..hahaha.
i believe that sometimes the problem is we lack the commitment to work the relationship out.

i came from a broken family, separated parents, but both of them never had separate partners. My grandfather had a cirida, but never left my lola & remained with her until she died 5 years ago.

My aunt had an annulment with his first husband & they both got remarried to different spouses (more than a decade ago). their kids, my cousins, who are in their late 20's have been so stuck up with life.. you could say they are problematic.

& that is why i say i don't believe divorce is the answer..coz it destroyed my cousins (eventhough it happened more than a decade ago).it's not just God why i believe in the sactity of marraige, but because of my family's experience of being broken. just my share anyway..

believers man kaha ta sa catholic faith, why worry then kung naay divorce option?

if we believe in our faith, why doubt it in the presence of temptation?

ako i am pro divorce, but i am confident and 100% panatag na i can keep my marriage and family intact whether divorce is permitted or not.

1st, i did not say all religion is against divorce and i am only referring to my religion and that is Christianity. The effects does not come by parents quarreling each day, it comes from the lack of having one. it is when the children realize that they don't have anyone to talk to or lean on to. As I said, there is no problem too big that cannot be solved by love. Couples don't see the view of being parentless or just having one parent because they are the one who separated. The problem with couples is that they don't try to solve the relationship and that they only see divorce as the sole solution. I firmly believe that if we agree on divorce, we end up losing the value of having a family and you know how important they are right?

on the other hand, one reason why people never thought of solving their problems is because they fell in love with another. And i tell you, don't solve a problem by another problem.

If we will permit this, what's the purpose of marriage? For those who are married and want divorce, suffer the conquences and follow the rule of law and God. Besides, man has given an intellect and free will to choose his/her own partner in life.

The problem with most people who doesnt want to continue living together is mainly "pride", they have pride and because both couple have hearts hardened they choose to separate than to unite. Both, I believe would rather go their own way because its not only they have been hurt and doesnt want to forgive each other but also had enough making their kids without either one of them or both. Its the kids in the end who are suffering lacking real and biological parents. Its true love is the answer, hence these couples who ended up in divorce doesnt love each other anymore like they used to... they rather separate than to love each other again.
