A lot of married couples today seem to have all the reasons to justify why they just can't get along with each other.
These reasons can be anything - one spouse wanting a baby and the other not, a husband wanting his wife to quit a job she wants to keep, problems with in-laws, problems with household expenses, an old flame coming back into the picture, etc.
Indeed, there can be innumerable reasons why some couples would somehow feel that they are the end of their rope and that a divorce might be the best option.
The question is, will these reasons truly justify the separation? Marriage is a sacred bond and if we are to follow religious beliefs, no man should break apart what God has put together.
Sadly, a lot of people feel they have to go through a divorce after having spent a considerable amount of time with their partners.
It is sad because in the very first place, everybody knows that no man or woman is perfect, and when one gets into a marriage, this imperfection should be expected from the start.
Therefore, in a union sanctified by marriage, pet peeves should have no place.
A very realistic example is a woman who absolutely hates guys who can't put the toothpaste cap back on and ends up with a man who is exactly that - someone who just can't put the toothpaste cap back on.
This can be considered a small issue by others, but for a woman who hates having to deal with this scenario, this can ultimately become one of the reasons for her wanting a divorce.
Not to say she has reason to want a divorce for having a husband who annoys her with little things, but this is reality.
Still, all of these raise the question of why people have to go through marriage when they can always file for a divorce when they feel they can't put up with each other's imperfections anymore.
Although reality shows us that couples fight, reality also makes us understand that no couple doesn't fight.
No couple will ever have nothing to disagree on, so when we know this fact right from the time we enter into a marriage, then why do we just file a divorce when we notice all these imperfections instead of try to work things out? In other words, marriage, to be successful, is not something that depends on how much we can put up with each other and whether or not we can take each other's faults anymore.
Marriage is something that couples need to work on in order for them to hold up together.
It's funny how couples call it quits just because "they can't get along no more.
" Of course, there are instances when the very institution of marriage is challenged and a divorce or separation may be the most rational option.
But these instances involve very serious factors that also serve as the moral ground behind laws governing separations or divorces that can't be helped.
Lack of respect for one's partner is one.
Because respect is basic to every individual, a marriage where this is absent between partners could be reason enough for the union to be broken.
Another reason might be extramarital relations.
Because marriage and marital sex are a sacred bond that ties a married couple together, sexual relationships outside the marriage automatically dissolves that bond.
Even the Bible says divorce may be automatically permitted when one party has sex outside of the marriage.
If you are currently contemplating divorcing your spouse for any reason, these are considerations you can make to help you decide whether or not that sacred bond is worth breaking.
