"The fact is that anyone who finds themselves in a bad marriage made a mistake at one time or another. Half the time, their biggest mistake was getting married in the first place. To prevent these bad matches or to help get the marriage off on a better start, marrying couples should be required to undergo several hours of marriage classes and/or marital counseling from a licensed minister or marriage counselor."

For people marrying in a church ceremony, this is almost always, if not always, required. Yet there are plenty of divorces among those couples, too. The counseling is often cursory and the couple may not pay that much attention-it's just another thing on the long list of to do's.

Well, evidently you and I are sinners in the minds of the "real, true" conservatives.

Well, this will be a good thread; it will let all the Freepers out there know just where we stand with Renew America.

Guess what, this one ought to send you reeling. I didn't know you were divorced and couldn't possibly care less. That's your own private business and has no impact on the person you are. For once, we agree on something.

I'm of the mind that it actually makes some of us better people. But, of course, that's just me.

Throw me in there, too.

The level of crap masquerading as "conservatism" on Free Republic has friggen multiplied exponentially as of late.

We interrupt this thread for an earthshattering announcement:

ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD....including those at Renew America.

I guess it's a good thing Mr. Ex's ex (sounds funny lol) was an adulteress, otherwise we'd be living in sin. Or are we anyway?

Too confusing for me. :)

The solution is simple: marry the right person. Then you won't have to get a divorce. Otherwise, it's the best solution rather than live in hell.

Even if you do marry the "right" person, things can change.

I'm glad my parents divorced.
