So, in your judgment, divorce should also not be permitted because it causes harm to children?
I would certainly end the no-fault divorce. Divorce rates have doubled since they were instituted in 1960.
Further, I have no doubt that once the homosexual movement acheives the goal of legal marriage they will then demand greater access to children and demand reproductive "rights" in that they will want laws changed to make baby buying/womb renting legal and of course force adoption agencies to consider their households appropriate placements, thus denying available children to loving and NORMAL households.
It shouldn't be made easy.
No fault divorce should be abolished if there are children involved.
Well maybe not a complete ban, but divorce should be much harder and a lot less rare than it is now.

Except in cases of documented physical abuse, yes.
Is divorce bad? Yes, does it harm children, yes as well as other close to the family.
Is it against the law, no, but it is against the teachings of several churches.
Is Marriage a government thing, no, should it, no. It is a church thing.
The gay marriage issue is about money. Taxes and inheritance. that is all. Homos already have equal rights as any straight.
Ern please stay in California as we do not need fag-lovin freaks such as yourself in normal parts of America.
I would say so. If you're going to stand at the altar and promise, in front of God and all your relatives, to remain faithful to your wife and to love her for as long as you both shall live, you ought to have a DAMNED good reason for dissolving that covenant (which is [supposed to be] the case with the Catholic Church's annulments--though nowadays, in the spirit of ecumenicism and non-judgmentalism, wimpy bishops throw around annulments like there's no tomorrow).
