I agree, both divorce and marriage are too easy these days. Some may consider that society 'moving forward'. I don't.
I find that a very strange thing to say Graham not believing in divorce, if a relationship breaks down you,re for you both to stay together and be miserable for the rest of your lives ? In an ideal world yes, but this is the 21st century and its not like the old days no more. I will tell you whats contributed to easy marriage break downs. mobile phones, social media sites, and the keep up with the jones brigade, you know the type the materialistic ones which put untold pressure on ones finances all those things combined makes staying with one partner harder in this world. In the old days a man could go out and earn a living wage and support his family on one wage while mom stays at home and looks after the kids, but those days are gone forever, and along with it the value of marriage .people are too selfish these days and just want and want the latest gadgets etc etc ,and then the costs of running a house just adds more pressure of a marriage lasting .
