Well, irish, you never know what's going to come out when I get on my soapbox!


Hope I didn't come on too strong and wasn't TOO offensive to anybody. That IS one of the "kaykay" soapboxes, I'm afraid.

I agree with you. In these times, some people get married and get divorced like changing shirts. Marriage is no longer respected, IMO. Couples contemplating marriage have to take their vows seriously. They have to understand that once married, it's a life-long endeavor. Sometimes, anymore, the slightest bump in the road causes people to break up. It needs to change.

I agree with the four reasons given for divorce. And actually, when my mother was contemplating divorce, we researched the topic together. We came up with 3 of the 4 - abandonment, adultery and abuse. Well, my father's behavior fit 2 of the 3. So, after 20 yrs of marriage, countless hours of counseling and even more prayer, she filed for divorce.

She was afraid to go to church that next Sunday! Thank God the pastor understood then what was outlined in the article now and the church accepted her and helped her.

I think the church has been for the most part remiss on teaching the sanctity and permanence of the marriage covenant. I think the Catholics have done a better job than Protestants with this. Note: I am Protestant.(Now don't get me wrong, I think we need to show some grace for those who have already been through it, but I also think we should encourage people to stay in their marriages when possible.)
