I dont have a problem with that. You got married, you had the universe kick you in the balls and kill your wife, I think you should get to remarry if you find someone.

But if you are stupid and just marry retard women and divorce them a year later, you shouldnt be allowed to marry again.

Sure, the word "marriage" is hyped up and people more often than not rush into it, but the benefits of doing so almost make it worth it to do so and later get divorced, even with a prenup.

And then you have spousal support payments and children who you get to see every other weekend and 3 weeks during the summer.

Thats where I back off...getting a bit too religious there for me.

Epic exchange right there. And I would fuck Miley Cyrus.

Maybe the wife shouldnt have married a wife beater....?

Maybe the husband shouldn't beat his wife. Wouldn't that be more practical?

Why don't you go ask a bunch of abused women if they knew they were going to be abused before they committed to the relationship. See what kind of answers you get. I love blaming the victim too. It's so trendy.

Oh because she knows ahead of time that he is going to beat her. People change you know, especially after something as important as marriage. And if the person knew they were stuck in that marriage they'd probably change even more.

I don't see why you are so intent on forcing everyone else to stay married, it's not as though it effects you. For that matter it basically doesn't effect anyone at all until there are children involved. And even then I'd rather see kids with divorced parents then with parents that fight or a father that beats his wife.

Very few husbands start off nice and then just wake up one day and slap a hoe.

I would love to! Seriously. Most women are morons. I read the advice columns, I hear the stories on the call in shows on the radio. The women are total retards. The guy is an alcoholic and the woman marries him thinking she can change him.

I put alot of blame on the victim in many instances because the situation was avoidable. The "victim" just was not willing to mentally confront the situation and saw it for what she wanted it to be, not for what it really was.

And somewhere around half of all domestic incidents are women hitting men, so dont jump into the womens' corner yet.

Alot of the time, the beatings dont start after marriage....they have been going on since a month after they started dating.

Bullshit. Little things change. Being nice and courting your wife and then beating her is not a common change by any means.

Answer me this then...if they are that stupid and mentally immature....why should they be allowed to get married?

Thats not my argument. My argument is, you get 1 marriage and 1 divorce. Thats it.

Well the wife shouldnt have kids right away then and see how the marriage affects the relationship before she decided to bring children in it. An intelligent woman would see a potentially negative situation and get out before there are kids.

Can I have a source for all that stuff you just spewed?

....life?

You want me to link you to every advice (dear abby style) column I have ever read? Every call in radio show (dr Laura style) I have ever heard?

Or the girl in high school I had a crush on and her boyfriend was a douche to her and it took me saying "you can do better" every day for a year before she broke up with him? (And then I wanted to be with her but got shifted into the 'just friends' zone).

Women go for the shitty guys. They think they can fix them. Nice guys finish last? Fact. Women only go to the nice guys after they have been treated like crap for about half their life.

Even if it isn't common, isn't it unfair to the people it does happen to for them to never be allowed to remarry?

More importantly, what right does anyone else have to gauge an individual's judgment when it comes to marriage? If you got married when you were 19 I have to imagine that there was opposition to it from your family or hers. How did you even know you were mentally mature enough to get married? In hindsight it appears you were but that's something that is damn near impossible to discern beforehand.

You might think you are in love with someone and then a few years later it just sort of fizzles out, the magic isn't there anymore or something has happened to push two people further apart. Maybe you meet someone else who you are even more attracted to and even if you try remain faithful that attraction could cause you and your spouse to drift apart. Or maybe you find out your spouse lied to you, big time.

There are hundreds of legit reasons to divorce, so long as marriage is gonig to be a government institution. Personally I say remove marriage from the government entirely.

Yep.

Life's a game, and its not fair.

The same right that the government has to gauge your judgement when it comes to the food you eat. (FDA)

Then you dont do it.

So you get your 1 divorce. Or you are intelligent and wait for awhile.

Believe me I do not at all advocate marrying young. Its very difficult.

I'd agree, but that wont happen. So I fall back to my opinon of 1 marriage 1 divorce.

Almost certainly rubbish, unless you can provide a credible source. And even if this is true, it's not a reason against divorce.

Perhaps. Having children is a huge change to a relationship.

Not really.

...So let's deliberately make it even more unfair for no good reason!

Good to know all of NiteStryker's sources are culled from the same place; his ass.

Also good to know that the idea of restricting people to just one marriage and one divorce is ludicrous and would never happen in the US, as there are no good reasons at all to justify such a terrible idea.
