It's true that some...@Infidel753 - Women can vote?<br /><br />It's true that some people give up on marriages too easily, that goes for any relationship, not just the ones where public vows have been made.<br /><br />Apart from that, I agree with what everyone else has said about staying in abusive relationships, male or female: get out of the relationship, get your kids out of there too.Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13584058723818113125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-44716029161371706832009-05-23T07:16:16.232-04:002009-05-23T07:16:16.232-04:00welcome back, Lindsey K!

There's two ways t...This stuff is like Rick Warren. There's two ways to interpret it, one smarmy, the other terrifying. <br /><br />The smarmy way is "Gee whiz, folks. We shouldn't go around criticizing the gosh-darn sinners for not respecting the institution of marriage, when we ourselves get married without both making a total commitment to our spouses. Let's all try really hard to be better husbands and wives and set a good example!"<br /><br />The terrifying way is "If you end your marriage for any reason, you're no better than teh couples who live in sin or teh gays or teh [insert naughty people here]. So you find strange bruises on the kids, then come home from work early to find your husband or wife stabbing them with a kitchen knife? No divorce for you! So your husband or wife cheats, gambles away their paycheck, drinks away yours, and refuses to mend their ways after repeated interventions etc? No divorce for you! Also, per strict Biblical rules, only one marriage per person per lifetime! Anything less is adultery, and remarriage should be treated as adultery no matter the reason the first marriage ended!"<br /><br />Those who wish to see it the smarmy way would be horrified, simply horrified, should you or I suggest to them that the terrifying interpretation exists. They may say we are cynical and always want to think the worst about people. Perhaps they have never seen those arguments used on anyone.Fiat Lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10441862977921307080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-17471413086810784572009-05-23T03:14:13.302-04:002009-05-23T03:14:13.302-04:00Some of these people are so out of touch with real...Some of these people are so out of touch with reality that they're still trying to fight battles they lost long ago. Treating divorce as shameful and expecting people to sacrifice their lives to a mistake is just one of those battles.

(Hi, remember me? I'm back!) I've ...Oh, my, GOD. (Hi, remember me? I'm back!) I've heard this kind of logic a lot, actually, which is sort of terrifying. Especially the "stand firm in your post" and "perservere despite the threat of destruction" call to stay in a marriage, no matter how bad.<br /><br />Which is twisted. Christians will argue that one must honor their vow before God, which is interesting, because the argument can easily be made that if the other spouse is abusive or acts lovelessly toward you, the vow is already broken. Anyway, the argument that God calls us to stay in a marriage no matter how bad it is really only is valid for those who believe in God. So to call a marriage that doesn't hold that ideal a "fake" marriage is a tricky proposition. Either one is stating that only God fearing Christians have real marriages, or, well... Okay, so that's what he's inferring.<br /><br />so, in that case, is a gay marriage any more fake than a straight marriage made by two non-<br />Christians? Heh.Lindsey Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840134525669131861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-78556286052105959402009-05-22T18:15:00.952-04:002009-05-22T18:15:00.952-04:00This guy is pro-perjury and bearing false witness....This guy is pro-perjury and bearing false witness. Before no-fault divorce, when both parties wanted a divorce, they would often either arrange for the women to find a hired mistress with her husband so that "adultery" would have taken place, or else to claim to have been subjected to cruelty. In either case, perjury was being committed, and everyone knew what was going on, making a mockery of the justice system.<br /><br />Given he was given half the chance, I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to ban divorce for <I>any</I> reason.<br /><br />Of course, no amount of facts will get in the way of this guy's misogyny. No wonder so many people like him are big on covenant marriage; that should really be called a wife beater's protection act.Rob Fhttp://thewordsonwhat.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-79376029383419535752009-05-22T16:35:21.413-04:002009-05-22T16:35:21.413-04:00Pasta!

If she hadn't have stayed with him "for the sake of the children" we both would have had a lot less bruises.<br /><br />Yes in a limited way he has a point. My wife and I don't always dance around waving sunshine and roses at each other. Believing in the marriage has helped us through some bad patches. There are exceptions however. <br /><br />This tard seems to think that saving the marriage is the ultimate objective and it just isn't. Building a happy, loving environment for a family is. He also seems to think that everyone who gets a divorce just jumps right into it for fun. That may happen sometimes, I even know of a case but it isn't the standard.<br /><br />Most people I know who have gotten divorced have had damn good reasons. Cheating, spousal abuse, child abuse, drug abuse. These are not the sort of issues a person should just "put on a happy face" about.<br /><br />If your spouse cheats LEAVE. If your spouse beats you LEAVE. If your spouse hurts your kids LEAVE. It is that simple. I believe in marriage and I take my vows seriously. I have no doubt my wife and I will be together forever, but we left the "till death do us part", line out of our vows for a reason. Neither one of us would put up with that kind of abusive crap even once.Rykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424545934239146403noreply@blogger.com
