What is the logic in divorcing your spouse due to opposition of same sex marriage?

Asked by NerdyKeith (5489

In 2015, a couple in Australia, (a Christian couple) threatened to divorce if same sex marriage is legalized in Australia.

What utter childishness and stupidity is this? So because they deem same sex marriage to be unbiblical; they plan to retaliate by dong something which is also not supported by the bible. How does that makes sense?

What’s even more juvenile is they claim they would be “forced to divorce” despite the fact that this is their own voluntary decision. Talk about playing the victim!

And in an interesting twist, latter on that same year; it turned out that due to a legal technicality, they will most likely not be granted a divorce. Legally speaking, you and your spouse are required to be separated for 12 months to qualify for a divorce. This is something the Australian couple do not plan to do. So it seems that their revenge divorce plan, wii not be followed through.

My wife and I couldn’t be more polarized on political issues.

True love is far more important.

I believe this is what my mother referred to as “Cutting off your nose to spite your face”.

Yes, in Australia and many other countries a period of separation is required first. This couple was very public in displaying their ignorance and bigotry. I’m all for it. It lets us know where they are, it gives us a good laugh and is an interesting topic of conversation at the water cooler. I like it when people are outspoken about their bigotry and ignorance. Its better than the Harry Potter’s Sorting Hat.

I guess they see it as a form of protest. People on the other side do it too, I knew some people who refused to get married until everybody had the right to.
