The Chat Room - Divorce
Is divorce wrong? What about remarriage? Phillip Jensen and Kel Richards discuss the negative affects of divorce on children, the family and the whole of society. Divorce costs Australia $3 billion a year and the indirect costs are far greater. They discuss common reasons for divorce, noting that in affluent societies divorce rates are higher, and how those who stay in marriages, even difficult ones, are happier overall than the divorced. They also discuss could be done about the rising divorce statistics in Australia, considering legal changes, marriage counselling and focussing on changing oneself rather than one's partner.
