After working up a dither on the ban divorce idea I decided to find out what’s going on and so happy to find your website! I’m straight and happily divorced, married the jerk and 6 years later I couldn’t take the abuse and misery anymore. I too believe if those folks who want so desperately to preserve the sanctity of marriage and decide who gets married, they should be chained together forever.

I say again, in the interest of protecting the sanctity of marriage that you shouldn’t get to sully the good name of my marriage by getting a divorce just because you chose the wrong person. Those of you who get divorced make me look bad. That my commitment to my husband isn’t taken seriously because everyone knows that statistically there is a 50%chance we’ll get divorced. It’s the fault of people getting divorced.
So everyone who was whining about gay marriage attacking traditional marriage, everyone who was whining about needing to protect traditional marriage should be on board with banning divorce. Put your money where your mouth is.
Why is your bad marriage my problem? I guess you should have “chosen a different lifestyle” for yourself. Suddenly all these people are making marriage sound like a pretty horrible institution… why were you all so quick to “protect” it from gays?
And the website may be sarcastic… but that doesn’t make it a bad idea!

Anja – you do know that this whole thing is a satire? Yes?

KotaKat,

While I sympathize with your situation, you do realize that this website is completely sarcastic right? It’s meant to make the point that if certain groups were really concerned with maintaining “the sanctity of marriage”, then a ban on divorce should be supported under the same rationalization that they have used to ban gay marriage. This has nothing to do with banning divorce.

I looked at buying a t shirt but there are no white ones, and the prices are pretty steep.

I looked at adding a banner to my website, but the image is not there, and the html is messed up.

I do love your cause though. Good luck.

I put a lot of thought into who I married. We both had good careers and were doing well, until I changed jobs and started getting a little more recognition for my job that he was for his. Not much more, just a little. First it was just a slap on the face. Then a punch, then a harder punch that sent me through a glass-topped table. Followed by a few face grinds into the brick front of the house. Let’s see, a couple of broken arms, the time he strangled me, oh yeah, let’s not forget the time he knocked the oldest boy down the half landing and dislocated his knee. Finally, one of the trips down the stairs resulted in a broken back. So much for my career, so much for my life as I knew it. So here I sit, literally! scarred, broken, lost the career that I loved and know what happened to him? NOTHING!!! He sailed on with his career and retired with second highest ranking after 25 years! But, under your law, I would not have been able to divorce him, not even to save my life! You see, he was such a smooth talker and knew every one on the Force. So, I could never get him arrested – it was always my fault. I live somewhere else now. While I admire what is behind what you are doing. I pray that for the safety of all women (and men) it does not pass! People do not start out that way (normally) he didn’t. He was kind and gentle and sweet, and I loved him with all my heart. Something, I’m not completely sure what, turned him into Mr. Hyde. Good intentions can have TERRIBLE results. And this is one of them. Even the Church recognizes that! Be careful what you ask for — you may get it.

Sabrina, I think that has more to do with the economy than divorce, if you look at a lot of those murder/suicides, I’m pretty sure that the murderer has lost their livelihood, it’s one of the consequences of a falling economy, that’s one of the reasons they call it depression, it has a lot to do with peoples’ emotional status
