Dont you think that people should work on a "problem" in their marriage instead of adding to it? You take an oath before GOD to love and honor till death, not till it gets tough. If couples would take what they have and cherish it instead of thinking that they "need" more to make them happy, we would put the divorce lawyers out of business. Take a moment to really look at your life and your spouse. If you could eliminate some of the stress in your life, dont you think your relationship would be breathtaking?

My wife and I have been together for over 5 years and our life has been full of stress since the beginning. The great thing about our marriage is that when times get tough we hold onto each other and not away from each other. Without all the stress in our lives...our marriage would be perfect. The key is to always keep the commitment in your marriage. The divorce rate is so high because it seems that when life gets tough people give up. It helps to be best friends with your spouse too. I really believe that my wife & I can make it through anything with each other and God's help. It's a great feeling to be secure in your relationship. I wish more people had what we share. People would be alot happier.

Absolutely. Things and the feeling of needing more things causes a lot of stress. If we elimanted some of the stress the family as a whole would be closer and lead to a better world. I remember when family actually ate dinner together at the table each night at the same time. The mom stayed home to make her family happy and wholesome. Now days people don't care where there kids are much less eating with them. I see parents who get off work early and still leave the child in day care. I can't imagine not wanting to be with my family. Marriage is hard. people give up way to easy, maybe because they have no hope in themselves

Besides lacking the finances, my fiancee and I are delaying our wedding just to make sure we can make it a year living together. I figure if we don't kill each other, we'll make it :) I agree with you. Marriage is a VOW, and to break it demeans the meaning of marriage. There are instances where I see divorce as being ok though; like an abusive spouse or someone who is absolutely unwilling to change. In this day and age however, people tend to look for the easiest alternative, and thus they pick divorce over communication.

Sorry, never have and never will. Kids and marriage...If they dont happen by the time Im thirty its 0out the window. Im hangin it up, goodbye. LOL
Seriously, Im sure that your right. Ive seen plenty of marriages crumble because there wasnt a true commitment to one another. All kinds of problems wether they be financial, spiritual, romantic or whatever should be worked out beforehand because its only going to get a lot harder in the time after vows.
Especially if you are just jumping into the marriage. Most people dont seem to take themselves COMPLETELY into consideration in consideration of their spouse/partner/fiance. Which leads to more and more problems when you combine two, because more times its the same or exact opposite of your spouse.

I agree. I married for Life, better or worse so on...unfortunatley my hubby married till he was too tired, and too stressed. Now all I hear is I need my space, I need time alone. And so while I am a sahm he is working and when not working out with his buddies staying out all night and so on. So for me now its not an I do or and I maybe but a I wont' and I got to go.
He has made his decision and it wasnt' for a wife and kids but for time alone and partying. His lost.

I said "I do" for 36 years. Now I find out my husband never did. Years of sexual addiction and lying to cover his secret life has led to a life of misery for me because I said "I do". What does GOD say about that? I hung in there just be be betrayed over and over.

I wish my soon to be ex-husband would see it that way. To top off the divorce I might have ovarian Cancer. I tried to get him to go to marriage counseling but he wont. Well all the best to you in all situations.

Grrr...another preaching question. Adultery is a scriptural reason for divorce, if God approves of that reason then who are you to judge?
