Typical Filipino: Stages of Marriage

To a Filipino couple who commit themselves to a relationship through marriage, indeed, the phrase "till death do us part" is kept for a lifetime. Note that, since the Philippines is a predominantly Christian nation, there is no premise that allows for a divorce to occur after marriage. Nowadays though, a couple who jumps into the bandwagon of marriage and later realizes that the union has no future due to "irreconcilable differences" has an option to file for annulment as an exit door to end the relationship. It should be noted however that this exercise of freeing oneself from the bonds of marriage is only for a few couples who have the money to spend for the litigations and the stamina to endure the long process.
