What are your thoughts about it?
Do you support it or not?
Me and most of my friends do.
My parents are divorced and I have nothing against it.
I prefer divorce over a bad marriage. duh

I support divorce.
No one should be in a loveless marriage.

Yes, there has to be a way out. People make mistakes. Now if only every adult couple of nonrelated partners was able to marry....

I'd support it. My parents need it.
Too bad divorce is not legal here in our country

I'm not against the act of divorce, however I am against people who jump into marriage too quickly which results in so many divorces.
The fact is, if you are not in love with the person, then you shouldn't be miserable with them. As long as any kids involved have both parents in their lives, then then I'm ok with divorcing. That being said, if you are divorcing someone for almost any reason other than your spouse cheating on you, then you shouldn't have ever married that person to begin with. I do not believe in falling out of love with someone. If you are divorcing simply because you don't love your spouse anymore, then you never really did love them to begin with. That is just my opinion. I expect a disagreement about that.

My parents got divorced because they didn't love each other anymore and I was 4 back then and I had a better childhood than some of my friends who's parents are in a bad marriage.
My mom and dad still normally talk and everything, I go to my dad's whenever I want and I think that's one of the rare 'good' divorces if there is a thing called 'good divorce'.
Some divorces can be really messy.

yeah, i know someone whose parents had a rare "good divorce". the parents still talk frequently and she sees them whenever & it's worked out. i agree it's better than seeing your parents stuck in a bad marriage when things just didn't go the way they hoped.

I only support marriage in the traditional sense, meaning divorce is a horrible no-no and should be outlawed, lest we run the risk of creating a society that isn't dictated by traditional Christian values, such as the sacred institution of marriage. I mean, if we start liberally granting divorces for every unloving married couple or to every battered married woman, we're sending out the message that marriage isn't a sacred institution and that divorce is just a quick fix with no other implications on our moral society. If that unhappy couple divorces, they will ruin the lives of their children (and there will be children... lots of them, cause birth control and contraceptives are also wrong and the only reason to marry is to reproduce) and show them that the sacred promise they made before God to stay together is something that can be easily dissolved. And if that battered woman gets a divorce, how will she ever learn to become a good Christian woman who is subservient and submissive to her husband?! Divorce is awful, and if you get a divorce, you have broken a solemn covenant between man, woman and everyone's favorite third wheel, God. Forget the kids, forget your own well-being, stay together for the Lord!
Furthermore, if we get too cozy with his whole divorce concept people will start to assume it's alright to devalue marriage in other ways, such as allowing sick and perverted homosexuals to marry, or letting farmer Fred take his favorite chicken as a wife. We must not stand idly by and let the moral fabric of our society be eaten away by sinful acids produced by people who do not abide by Christian codes!
Edit: Didn't intend for anyone to read this and take this seriously. I obviously do not endorse any of this.

Well, he did say "sick and perverted" homosexuals, not all homosexuals. In which case, 'sick and perverted' anythings - straight, gay, white, black, Christian, Muslim - should probably be in jail and not off marrying, or doing other perhaps more illicit things.

Why would anyone not support divorce? If your marriage fails for whatever reason, you should be able to get out of it. The world would be a horrible place if people couldn't.

I support it.
My parents are divorced.
Basically, my dad had an affair so......
But now that I see them, I'm glad they're divorced. 
I mean, like they bicker with each other for things.
I can't imagine if divorce was prohibited.
