AboutHannah Expertise I can answer questions concerning standard doctrines, scriptures, curiousities, Mormon culture and society. I will not respond to debates. I'm sorry, but there are some things that I simply will not answer, not because I don't want to, but there are some things that the LDS people do not discuss casually--it's only talked about within the temple. Though I am a member, I do not believe that anyone could convert anyone to a religion over something as impersonal as the internet. So I won't even try to.
Experience I have been a member of the LDS church for 8 years. Though I'm still a young person, I can answer most things about the church.
Question How does the religion feel about divorce.ob
Answer That's a tricky question. Divorce is okay in Mormon religion and society. There's even such a thing as a temple divorce, which dissolves the eternal tie as well as the civil, earthly one. However, it's also discouraged at the same time. Apostles have stated that divorce being so readily available in modern society has devalued marriage. Marriage is something that can be entered and exited at free will today, and that's not good. It should be something thought. However, people make mistakes and people change. If you really shouldn't have entered that marriage, then you shouldn't be stuck with it forever. If the other person changes personality, morals or character, the person should have the right to end that relationship. And CERTAINLY in a case where one part of the marriage is emotionally, verbally, physically, or sexually abusive, divorce is often the only option.
So, in short, the LDS church addresses divorce as something needed at times, but not to be taken lightly.
