Do you think it is easier to get married or divorced?

I think both. I mean, neither SHOULD be easy, but it is these days. People enter and leave marriage WAY too lightly.

From Experience , getting married was easier and less of a mess. Divorce is like a bad trip to the dentist when you know you have 5 root canals and crowns to sit through. And as we all know for that much work you always get more than one appointment!

It's easier to not get married. Then you don't have to worry about a divorce.

Marriage seems to be easier. People are in love and optimistic.

However, divorce is difficult....by the time people are ready to get divorced they are neither optimistic nor in love nor trusting. Finances, children, headache, pain are all involved....some of the most difficult and sensitive things to deal with.

I think if people gave marriage as much thought as divorce, more people would be married longer or more happily. :)

Easy to get married. Depending on the state and how good your spouses attorney is, divorced is another story, and varies alot.

I think it is probably easier to GET married than to BE married. I don't think it's easy to get a divorce, particularly if there is the issue of custody of minor children.

I got my marriage license in 20 minutes for $30. I've already paid my divorce attorney $4,500.00 and am still married. We separated 14 months ago. Hands down - marriage is easier. It shouldn't be. It should be a challenge so that only those who really mean it go through with it.

For me it was both. Married in a civil ceremony (I have no use for expensive wedding fluff) and that process took a few days. Divorcing took 9 months, 6 of which were the State of Virginia's mandatory waiting period.

I would have to say that divorcing is probably harder due to the ridiculous amount of fighting couples do in the process. I would also go with getting divorced because of the emotional (for some physical) scars it leaves behind. All jokes aside, how often does one see a couple in counseling due to having gotten married as opposed to those who end up in therapy over divorcing?

For the most part it also seems to be a more difficult decision to make. I would venture to say that most people don't agonize over the decision to get married as opposed to getting a divorce.

My answer is married is easier. But I think if it cost as much as a divorce, maybe people would not be so quick to quit and file for divorce..

Well if your really, really in love in would be easier to get married but if you really, really hate each other it would be easier to get divorced, depends on the situation.

married

Getting married seldom leaves scars, unlike divorce.
It is way too easy.

I think every first marriage should be considered a trial and have a five year escape clause. No harm, no foul. Assets split 50/50. Of course at this time you may opt for another longer committment.

This is just pragmatic. So few marriages last, that the first one is often just learning how to be a husband/wife. Fine if it works. Otherwise,

Couples should part with as little animosity as possible an move on to number two.

i think getting a divorce is harder,it's cheaper,but you have to make sure that is the correct decision that's being made.

It's easier to get married than divorced but it should be the opposite. It should be easier to get divorced than married. If it was harder to get married, there probably wouldn't be as many divorces.

they have drive through wedding chapels. that's pretty easy. until they have drive through divorces, i'd say marriage is easier.

It's like that one joke, "Why is divorce so expense? Because it's worth it." XD Anyhow, I think that marriage is MENTALLY easier. I was about two months away from being married myself (We both had everything in our names, that was the easy part.) Now I have the trouble and heart ache of getting everything out of my name and things like that..

divorced probobly, because its harder.

although then theres that sang:

"It better to have loved than to have never loved at all."

If a woman and I wanted to get married in a legalistic way tonight it could be done.

Divorce takes a lot longer and a lot more headaches.

Married, but they are both too easy

divorced.

marriage= opening your heart and life to someone forever.

divorce= closing up shop and leaving.
