Should divorce laws be changed to make marriages more difficult to dissolve?
Article Abstract:
Some people believe that the divorce laws should be changed to strengthen marriage, while others think that people should not be forced to remain in failed marriages. Those favoring tougher laws say that children bear the hardships of divorce. Those opposing tougher laws say that children can be adversely affected by an unhappy union of their parents. Both sides agree that efforts should be made within the marriage, and that lifetime marriage is a laudable goal.

Should homosexual marriages be recognized legally?
Article Abstract:
The issue of allowing same-sex marriages is a difficult one to resolve. There exists the dilemma of providing equal privileges to all sectors of society, regardless of sexual orientation. There also exists a need to preserve the sanctity of age-old traditions that are being challenged by new forms of behavior. Both sides present a convincing argument as to why or why not same-sex marriages should be accepted or rejected.

Controversy over same-sex marriages
Article Abstract:
Same-sex marriage is the most controversial among domestic partnership issues. The majority of Americans find the concept of homosexual marriages unacceptable and view it as a violation of fundamental religious beliefs. This type of union is prohibited throughout the US. However, some quarters support the concept since it would encourage gay monogamy, a practical sexual practice in view of the present AIDS epidemic.
