Different cultures approach divorce differently. Some, like Hindi India, don't even have a word that means "divorce." The Protestant Church Of Switzerland wants couples to come in for a divorce ceremony.
The church is offering divorce ceremonies because, "Sometimes there is no other solution but to separate. In such situations it is important to make the divorce as amicable as possible for the couple so that they can begin a new chapter in their lives," says pastor Frank Worbs.
It's also about expressing how, like a marriage, the couple isn't the only ones affected: family, children, and close friends are impacted when a marriage falls apart. The ceremony is meant to help everybody move on.
If it was offered in the United States would you attend, or would it be too much pain and not enough closure?
