They are very different categories and very different sets of people. So you have newlyweds mixed in with bitter & cynical divorcees.
I can understand "Singles & Dating" being lumped together but who thinks there should be two seperate "marriage" and "divorce" categories??

hmmmm when you put it like that yeah I guess the newlyweds can learn from the mistakes of the divorcees.
But from that you are implying that divorcees have learnt from their mistakes and are qualified to give out good marriage advice. Shaky ground there!

Brilliant question ....also made me LOL. Yahoo hope you are listening ??? Marriage has become a fragile enough institution without you guys lumping it with divorce.

Actually, newlyweds can learn from divorces. I think it is a good idea for the two to be lumped together.

I would agree with you that there are red lines in any relationship. Physical abuse is one of those red lines. Change, however is possible, and giving your a chance to prove this change may be the beginning of building a new relationship within your marriage.
Several questions come to mind that you may want to ask yourself
How do you communicate with your husband?
How open are you towards each other in sharing your thoughts, feelings and problems?
How do you know that he has given up on your sexual relationship?
And what about you? How come you have accepted living without sex for the past ten years? Did you try to change this situation? How?
Are there any objective physical and/or medical limitations to his sexual functioning?
Do you have answers to any of those questions?
It seems to me that lack of sex for so many years may be a symptom of a deeper problem in your marriage. It may have to do with the whole relationship between you and your husband, especially in the areas of communication and intimacy.

They go hand in hand, you can't have divorce without Marriage. Newly weds could also benefit from the divorce questions, taking not of what not to do or say, how to not act or act with your partner. They could then strive to work at not letting things like that happen.

THANK YOU!!!!! That was my first and lasting impression, too! That is NOT good. But I like the fact that we have many more MARRIAGE than divorce questions. I think there needs to be a revisitation of many categories, but mostly this one, indeed.

Good point! Sadly enough, they are usually pretty closely related, but yeah, what newlyweds want to associate with that..?

If you start sub dividing things, you would have too many categories .

because the majority of mariages (60%) fail, the other 40 % end in death, so why not
