GUEST,patty o'dawes BS: Are family values a thing of the past (51* d) RE: BS: Are family values a thing of the past 29 Apr 07

If the age of being able to get married was raised to say 25 - would we have less divorce? It wouldn't stop the partnerships and families formed outside marriage failing though.

With the horrendous costs of some marriages and some divorces I personally see alot of merit in doing away with the instituion altogether. If it held the original meaning at heart the resulting divorces wouldn't ensue. Which leads to the question why do people feel the need to get married at all.

Our family is littered with second marriages and many kids. None traumatised by the seperations so far and all with a healthy outlook on right and wrong. Previous generations in our family suffered unworkable marriages because they felt divorce was wrong in the eyes of the church/the parents or the neighbours.

Live and let live.
