I still believe in marriage and I am really against divorce. But hey, who am I to say such things. I'm not even married! So how should I know and what right do I have to utter such words. But still, divorce is such an awful thing. In my perspective, I hate it when people break up. Even as lovers. It's too sad. Too awful. Too heartbreaking. I've always believed in two people working out together even if the spark of love has gone out. It's such a waste for such a beautiful bond between two people to be broken by the negativities life brings. Yes. I'm still naive with these things.
I just read an article stating that my country is the only country left with no divorce. And I really really hope and pray that it stays that way. Just because the rest of the world agrees with divorce doesn't mean ours should do the same. But who am I to know? I'm just one person with one vote against divorce. And people always have different thoughts about these kinds of things and the majority I believe is pro-divorce. Especially now that the Philippines is sort of gearing its way in liberating itself from tradition and moralities of life. It would be nice if people don't make a hasty decision in marrying someone if they cannot bring themselves to live with the pledge and oath marriage brings (in sickness and in health...for better or for worst...for richer or for poorer...till death do us part). Marriage is sacred and should not be separated by man. The sad news is, people tend to marry for all the wrong reasons and realize that they don't know the person at all (domestic violence, irreconcilable differences, martyrdom, infidelities, drunkenness or addiction). Also, I have read something from a person that I look up to that it would be better if you married someone who can put up with you, who you can put up with and who knows how to pick himself/herself up. When the feeling, spark, chemistry, or love have all died down, you just can't give up on a commitment. Besides, true love is not based on feelings at all. I just don't see divorce as a solution. But hey, people are people. I fear that if the time comes, my vote won't even count. It's just so sad.
Malta was the last country to have approved divorce after four years of separation. The law was introduced prior to peoples' votes who are mostly Catholic. *sigh* It's just so sad. The Prime Minister himself was against divorce but, "This is not the result I wished for, but the will of the people has to be respected and the parliament should enact a law for the introduction of divorce."
So much for human rights and free will.

"Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." - Hebrews 13:4 -
"But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female'. 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
- Mark 10:6-9 -
