I have raised this very issue in every anti divorce thread I have contributed to.

What is the other person doesn't want to breathe the same air you breathe?

Divorce is bad, but it isn't a catastrophic sin, either.

I believe that divorce is part of our sinful nature. It does contribute to the rending of society. It causes pain, dysfunction and undue stress on families and communities in ways we don't even understand.

But so do bad marriages.

My point is basically that all sin is sin in the eyes of God. It all separates us from him. As a Christian I believe those sins are covered by the blood of Christ.

It doesn't mean we go looking for sin, and it especially doesn't mean it should be celebrated. It also means we shouldn't abandon the ideal.

It does mean it can be forgiven just as all sin and it means that we are to be compassionate towards those that suffer because of it.

Frankly, I'm not really sure just why that is so to understand. Sometimes, people forget to check the beam in their own eye, before picking at the splinter in someone else's. I believe we have been warned about that. ; )

I didn't hear his announcement. I do know that he said it was no one's fault...or something like that. I wonder if it is she who is filing? In that case, what choice does he have.
