Pope Benedict called on the Vatican court, which rules on marriage annulments, to take a stricter line. Basically, if you are married in the Catholic Church, you are making a serious commitment that only allows for divorce in rare occasions. If you can’t get along with your spouse you can petition the church to have your marriage annulled, which means, the marriage was never legitimate.
Apparently, the courts that decide whether a marriage should be annulled have been overwhelmed with cases.
The pontiff said Vatican judges must not seek to satisfy "subjective demands" in order to arrive at an annulment "at any price." What he’s saying is we need to make it tougher for couples to annul their marriages.
I couldn’t agree more. Studies have shown that when couples find it difficult to divorce they work harder on their marriage and overtime improve their relationships.
So, the lesson here, is if you’re thinking about getting a divorce, spend the time working on your relationship. In most cases, your marriage will improve.
