Divorce Bill
I'm not in favor that Divorce will be legalized in the Philippines. I believe it is illegal and against the law of God. Our country is a Christian culture country and we are the largest Christian Culture of all Asia. I don't like Divorce at all and it has many disadvantages. Divorce ends your marriage that invests nothing at end. Divorce cost money and also children will be greatly affected. There will be a tremendous effect on their emotions, attitudes, and to their psychological behavior. Many people just don't know the real importance of marriage even before planning of the wedding. They must think many times before getting married because marriage is insoluble that cannot be destroyed. Many of us are very religious and follow strict rules. We Filipinos believe that marriage is sacred in the eyes of God. I also understand that marriage is sacred and it should be cherished and MUST stay forever… till death do us part. Divorce is not the solution to the problems of many couple having their difficulties. They should put in their mind that they should save the relationship. They both promise in front of God that they will be as one in dealing life through ups and downs. They should see the other side of the situation and not be selfish. Children are the number one reason to keep the family together and bravely face all the problems. If the family is broken, the children are the sufferers of this because they need the love and guidance of both parents as they grow up Love of the family is the Filipino cultural identity. Family is very important and we should not give the evil an opportunity to destroy our gift of life which is our family. I Hope that many people realized the true essence of having a Family. I will end up this with my deep and brief thought that in time of test, Family is the best. A couple that was bonded by God cannot be separated by any means. They should steak to their promise that “Till Death Do Us

    Marriage has been considered by many to be a sacred practice for hundreds of years. However, the ideals surrounding these unions have shifted from the medieval 1300s to the modern day 2016. Marriages today are revolved around the couple's feelings for each other and the financial and social aspects are irrelevant in most cases. The marriages in 2016 are quite an improvement over the unions of the 1300s which were often more centered around social and monetary gain than the couple's actual feelings and happiness.…

    If a married couple are experiencing life damaging situations then it is formulating unhealthy traits in one another’s lives as well as the (if any) children. The potential of divorce is adequate if a union is dynamically damaging the core of a family foundation in the sense of demolition. If the individuals are unwilling to give any effort to the relationship it is establishing unhealthy habits that will lead to behaviors that are not under God’s approval. According to 1 Peter 3:7, “Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.” (New International Version) If a family union is not working in a direction of progression and is not able to find ability to overcome the challenges because of a reason of dangerous circumstances, divorce might ultimately be the best result for a married couple and family. Marriage is not only impacting to a husband and wife but to the children, the dynamics of a home is what sets standards and values for our…

    The effects of divorce on society are far reaching, and long lasting. They are not what many would think, such as a drain financially on society, and the welfare system. There are huge impacts psychologically for all parties involved; the children, wives, and husbands. Although there are some instances where divorce is the only way to provide stable homes, such as high conflict rates, there are others where the children would benefit more if the parents worked on the relationship, such as low conflict rates. Although there will always be divorce, one of the lesser known side effects of divorce can be avoided, and possibly stopped. This is a horrible and completely avoidable occurrence, Parental Alienation…

    If more couples where to attempt to resolve their problems instead of getting a divorce, we would be able to grow old and see more stability in relationships. As Whitehead claims, “an elderly couple, married for fifty years, is likely to enjoy a substantial body of social and emotional capital, generated through their long-lasting marriage, which they can draw upon in caring for each other and for themselves as they age” (Whitehead 229). A healthy marriage benefits the couples and your children by growing in a healthy marriage, showing them marriage takes time and effort. “Similarly, children who grow up in stable, two-parent married households are the beneficiaries of the social and emotional capital accumulate over time as a result of an enduring marriage bond. As many parents know, children continue to depend on these resources well into young adulthood” (Whitehead 229). As of today, within twenty to thirty years from now we might not get to see or experience those stories from old couples who have been together for fifty plus years. As for myself I like to believe that I will grow old with my spouse and will be able to share a…

    The idea of marriage is an old and sacred one. In the Bible, a marriage is seen a holy sacrament between a man and woman that leads to the raising of a family. There is one man and one-woman involved- then with the addition of the holy spirit, the union is supposed to be ever lasting. “Christian marriage is a sacrament (sacred act approved by God). As a result marriage was very difficult to end, and before the nineteenth century usually ended with death,” (Chan and Haplin, 2001). In the world today, marriage is interpreted in many different ways. Very rarely is it seen as an everlasting contract that can withstand all tests. The revolutions of the 60s, 70s, up through today have severely changed the way people think of marriage. The drug culture has helped redefine the meaning of peace and love and of course, holy unions. People today do not get married out of the idea of love. If they do, it is most often between two young and naïve children or young adults that believe that love can conquer all. “People expect too much from specialized love marriages, and when the love goes so might the marriage. Other cultures unite families through arranged marriages, and these social functions may make them more stable,” (Chan and Haplin, 2001). People have begun to take advantage of the system and get married because of benefits they can receive. For the military couple, extra cash is a big incentive as…

    In marriages where the partners are, even after thoughtful reconsideration and counsel, estranged beyond reconciliation, we recognize divorce and the right of divorced persons to remarry, and express our concern for the needs of the children of such unions. To this end we encourage an active, accepting, and enabling commitment of the Church and our society to minister to the needs of divorced persons.…

    The divorce rate in America is currently at 50% for first year marriages. The divorce rate has increased over the past 15 years to 10.8%. Males between the ages of 55 to 64 have the highest rate of divorce, which is 15.9% while women between the ages of 55 to 64 have an even higher rate of divorce, 19.6% (US Census Bureau). It really is a shame for those who have children because it will be harder on the kids rather than the parents. Of course, that depends on age. If the children are young, they will not fully understand the meaning of divorce until they are older and they will be confused as to why they have to go see Daddy on the weekends and stay with Mommy during the week or vice versa. If the child or children are older or at least at an age where they understand what is going on and what divorce means, and then it will definitely affect them strongly and be harder on them. It also depends on the reason. If either parent cheated on the other, then it is almost certain that there will be trust issues with the parent who was in the wrong. If the parents just keep fighting and cannot seem to resolve their issues with counseling or therapy, then it appears justifiably decent to get a divorce, but only if they have tried everything in their power to make their marriage work and it just fails.…

    Cause and Effect Essay

    To begin with one significant cause that leads to a divorce is lack of communication. Many couples stop communicating with each other because each one is busy doing their own things in life whether it is work, hobbies, raising children, activities, among other things. A lot of couples have different job schedules not allowing them to see each other most of the day. When they finally get to see each other is at night and unfortunately they are both tired and they just go to sleep. Since the time that they live together is not enough, the couples find it hard to find time to communicate with each other due to having a busy life and for lack of energy. Also, many married people have poor communication because they do not know how to express their feelings to their partner. Marriage cannot be a successful relationship if either one does not discuss about his/her emotions or issues, and expects their partner to guess what the whole problem is about. Finally, most couples just do actions instead of using words. Married couples think that they do not need to express their love for each other verbally and that only providing for the house is sufficient to know that they care and love each other. Many people think that because they provide things from the home like food, pay bills, take care of the house, etc. they do not have any other problems…

    Divorce laws are legislated in countries all over the world with more and more governments creating and improving these laws constantly. Marriage is no longer considered something that lasts forever, a sacred and unbreakable thing. Statistics show that roughly half of all marriages end in divorce, and now such things as "starter marriages" are perfectly acceptable practices. With instances of spousal abuse and adultery on the rise, so is the rate of divorce. Similarly, few households employ traditional roles in these modern days. Unlike thirty years ago, it is common for both adults in a home to work full time jobs to support themselves and their household.…
