The gravitational corrections to the gauge coupling constants of Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories have been shown to diverge quadratically. Since this result will have interesting consequences, this has been analyzed by several authors from different approaches. We propose to discuss this issue from a phenomenological approach. We analyze the SU(5) gauge coupling unification and argue that the gravitational corrections to gauge coupling constants may not vanish when higher dimensional non-renormalizable terms are included in the problem.
