What are the effects? I mean if the two can't see eye to eye, and they both refuse to cooperate and forget that they have their own unique union to hold onto then why be together? If one is unwilling to change for the other at all, what's the point when there are others out there that are willing to be a great life partner? Why would you want to hate that person for the rest of your life and live with that??

For one - a snowball effect. When our children (or even just kids that are exposed through family, friends, etc.) are subjected to divorce - taught that it is okay to give up without trying and that love is not a decision - they often end up divorced themselves. Everyone thinks it's okay to just move on without putting any effort into what you've got (you can see this from the majority of the answers on this board - "Sure - if you aren't happy just leave whomever you're with now and go find someone who makes you happy!" ). Most divorced couples look back years later when they are on their 2nd or 3rd divorce and wish they had worked through things the first time around. By that time they've learned that most couples have ups and downs and, by learning to weather those times, they become stronger and closer because of them. There is a small percentage of people who are happier the second time around but they've learned how to handle things differently by that time. Had they treated their first spouse the same way they treat their second, they would still be blissfully married to the first and be further ahead in almost every part of their lives.

In my cases, not having to walk on eggshells anymore, not worrying about him using the children as a sheild after he's punched me in the face, not having broken bones, not feeling degraded and insulted anytime I am happy, not having somebody be extremely overjoyed when I am upset, not having somebody be extremely angry when I am happy, not having one bring down any happy day or success by telling me I am worthless and would be nothing without him.
In other words, not being abused and used and thinking about ending my life.

more and more divorces? I don't know what you mean...polls say 50% of all marriages end in divorce. " until death do us part " doesn't mean much anymore.
