DIVORCE in the Philippines

What's your thought about legalizing divorce in the Philippines?

I totally agree with legal divorce. It provides freely and protection for both parties. Its also beneficial for those who have suffered abuse because they're stuck in a marriage. I heard that only Vatican City and the Philippines haven't approved divorce yet. correct me if Im wrong

Yep. Only the 2 countries aren't in favor of legalizing divorce. Same as you do, I am in favor of legalizing divorce here in the Philippines. It's for both parties to have peace of mind. Yes, there is no such thing as a perfect marriage and both need to compromise, communicate, and resolve whatever the problem. But what if one isn't open to the idea of resolving it because for him/her it won't work anymore? You can never change a person's attitude/character without any effort from the person himself. So both will live without peace of mind, daily arguments, verbal/emotional abuse, and stress will take place. And the worst thing is that respect will be gone. That is because we don't have a divorce here. I don't think the marriage will still be sacred if both are arguing over and over. No matter how one tries to fix things, but the other one won't cooperate, it'll be worthless. Marriage is a teamwork.
 

I totally agree with getting a divorce. If the couple doesn't love or respect each other anymore and it's turning into emotional or physical hurt, it should really end if it can't be fixed. This is also for the peace of mind of both parties. It will also give a chance to grow individually , pursue what they want to give a new beginning for both parties.
