6655321 :ERROR: Posts: 24 [delete][edit] December 01, 2005, 05:57:pm 1)Is the ease of getting married and divorced cheapening romance? Marriage in hollywood sure seems to be unvaluable. Celebreties dispose of spouses like it's sour milk. 2)Should it be harder to get married and even harder to get a divorce? no. Feelings are permitted to change. 3)Do you think the laws are fine as they are, they should be changed, or have harsher ones made? Marriage should have more finacial benefits than it does. My opinion shouldn't matter much though, considering my feelings about love versus my feelings about money. oh yeah, and let gays get married. wtf is up with that? ~^6655321^~

Whats so SHOCKING about reading "so and so mariied blah blah after diviorcing 5 days ago"!? 2)Theres really no way you could put a safe law in place to ensure that. I mean, say someone married into an abusive relationship and the law said they had to be together say...3 years min. ...its jsut not really possible.. (and, I completely agree with 6655321) 3) Well, what IS there to change, really? I think that the're fine. (Over here, gays can marry =) -[EllE] "Kids who live in happy homes should never start fights with kids who live in Warzones."

Interesting subject, I do think maybe people should think alot more before they get married, my parents have been marrie 18 years and hardly ever argue and have lived together 25! so it proves that it can work, but in saying every single one of my friends parents have divorced..x Nice to meet you i'm the tortured girl, gunna paint my face around the world

1)Is the ease of getting married and divorced cheapening romance? Yeah it really is, but I know if I got married I'd make sure it was the right one and that it was loving/special 2)Should it be harder to get married and even harder to get a divorce? Well I don't agree with quick weddings, but don't think stuff should be made harder... 3)Do you think the laws are fine as they are, they should be changed, or have harsher ones made? Don't really know the laws on it all..

I really don't think that anything really can be done about it. The romance is either there or it isn't and it can't be cheapened by how easy something is to accomplish. Personally I have no interest in marriage. I'd prefer a relationship where it didn't feel necisary to publicize how we feel about each other if we know.

Idealy a relationship for me would be with someone more like a great friend of mine where there is no commitment enforced and we're free to do as we wish. Let it be by choice that they come home to me. Let them be commited because they want to and not because they're 'in a relationship'. Of course a relationship like that is near impossible to find given the possessive nature of most people.

1)Is the ease of getting married and divorced cheapening romance? I want to get married, and live in a big house in the forest. We're we'll eat carrots and have a pet duck named quagmire. I believe in romance, and I believe that there's a special someone for everyone.. 2)Should it be harder to get married and even harder to get a divorce? Nope &&& Nope. I think it's a shamed people get divorced. I think once you marry someone, you should work things out. Oh god, I'd be the perfect beaten wife. 3)Do you think the laws are fine as they are, they should be changed, or have harsher ones made? What laws? marriage laws? I think homosexuals should get married. It's only fair. -stratchs crotch- Mmhmn. I'm half awake, so don't expect much from me right now. __Preciousx [She's been known to ass-rape herself.]

Dollie_Stitches Posts: 8 [delete][edit] December 01, 2005, 08:59:pm In my city a girl can get married at 14 and a boy can get married at 12 personally I have no problem with that. I mean if two ppl r in love....but I suppose since ppl fall out of love especially when you are a teen laws need to be more carefully thought out.

x-_-xPOISONx-_-x I am Your Poison Injection Posts: 87 [delete][edit] December 01, 2005, 10:13:pm romance can die as feelings change ... or it can even increase who knows....... divorcing should be jsut as easy because of changing feelings as 6655321 said. and ummmmmmm i dont even really know what the laws are on marriage and divorce over here

tat2goddess [online] Posts: 9 [delete][edit] December 01, 2005, 10:54:pm this one is definately tricky.......where i live its only about $35 to get married and $600 to divorce....it should definately not be as easy as it is to get married...and i do agree that the emotions are there to begin with or not...no laws can make or break a union,thats the individuals fault. however i think it shouldnt be taken as lightly as it is. .:The world has closed her eyes.

Synthetic-Disease Neo Geisha Posts: 21 [delete][edit] December 02, 2005, 09:37:am Sex is so common now. More and more people are getting pregnant not knowing who the father is. I'm not a virgin to no means, but i've learned that one night stands don't cut it. If someone is that cheap to fuck you and then leave, you don't belong with them. Marriage is so fucked up. My biggest fear with me being engaged is going to be divorce. I don't think it should be harder or easier getting married, I just think that people should stop and get to know the real person they're with, instead of marrying for money or just another pretty face... Maybe there should be a test for you to take to get married... like how well you know the person... *Silly caucasion girl who likes to play with Samuri swords*

I think people really need to think about it, and I mean think about really hard before decideing to get married. Too many people just get married to have someone around. I also believe that teenagers in America should be able to get married.. as long as they truely love eachother. In some cases.. actually a lot of cases.. teens think they are in love but really arent.. but I believe that if they really really love eachother.. and they have friends or other people that can back that up by what the couple say about eachother and how they act around eachother... they can get married. I highly doubt that will ever happen though, considering all the shit that happens in the US. In some ways I wish that was how it was, but in other ways I am glad that the laws on marriage are the way they are. I have many teenage friends that are in love.. and I can honestly say I believe they are... in that case I believe they should be able to marry the one they love. But then there are other teens that just think they are in love, but really arent. I dont know.. I guess its really hard to say. I have mixed feelings about gay marriage, not that I am against gays, because I am not, but it upsets a lot of people knowing that gays are getting married and it makes them uncomfortable.. but then there are the gays that are upset because of laws against gay marriage. I think that if they really love eachother, why do they need the ring and paper to say they are commited. They can just as easily vow to eachother that they are commited and put a ring on the others finger with out being in front of a congregation(sp) or a priest. My mother and father arent married but my mom took my fathers last name and it is legally ok to change your last name. Why dont they just do it that way? There isnt much of a difference there. I think it should be easier to get divorced simply because people do fall out of love with eachother and why should they have to stay together if they will never truely be together again? Wouldnt you rather people in love being married or people that hate eachother remain married. It causes a lot of problems for the kids... divorce may hurt the child but it hurts more watching your parents fight all the time. If people dont want to be together anymore, and really mean it.. I think divorce prices should be lowered and marriage prices raised. This way, you know that if they really want to get married, if they really love eachother, they will pay whatever the cost to get married. But when it comes to divorce I dont look at it that way, because during marriage, financial support falls.. a lot of people dont have as much money as they did to get married, to get divorced. Those are my thoughts.

Life is like trying to get ahead on a busy freeway - focus on the road ahead rather than on the rear view mirror. That way you will see the opportunities ahead, without being stuck in the traffic of your own past experiences.

sothiswilldo [online] Posts: 18 [delete][edit] December 02, 2005, 04:22:pm I think that they're fine in Canada... We do get to many divorces, well an average ammount... I do think it should be a little harder to get divorced though, it might make people think twice before tieing the knot.
