I'm still married, although my wife and I are estranged. We made alot of mistakes. I wish I had done better research into how to make a marriage work. I should have at least copied our vows and posted them to my forehead so I could have had some kind of blueprint to work from. What I find ironic is that the people with the best information about marriage, relationships, and how to be successful in them are often Divorce Lawyers.
Right now I feel like MarriageBuilders.com's unofficial spokesperson - they've got great information for anyone who wants to know. But don't give up on marriage just because the outward circumstances look bad.

Divorce is caused by a lack of committment. I don't care who you are, it is simply a fact of life that when two people live together every day and every day and have to face the problems and issues of co-existing in the same household, there are bound to be some times of discord. Many people today don't think of marriage as a permenent situation because it is to easy to get out of again if you don't like what you get. Marriage...any marriage takes committment to hang in there and work through the hard times instead of running away. There is no such thing as a perfect marriage or a perfect relationship. We are all human. It seems that everyone wants to get married but we only have a few that are committed to "stay" married. I can't say that there are not some problems (like physical or severe emotional abuse) that need to be run away from but for the most part people just need to learn to accept the other person for who they are and respect them.

I believe in marriage so much because it is sacred.
During the solemn matrimony, two people swear in front of God and the public that they're gonna love each other and cherish each other til the end... for better or for worse.
However, marriages still arent perfect.
IT'S FULL OF SURPRISES, SACRIFICES AND TRIALS. So it's up to these two people to work it out for them to have a successful-lasting marriage.
It's not a one-way street indeed! It still takes two to tango. Thus, there is divorce. An option for those couples who thought a marriage should be perfect, fun-filled and all exciting.

There is a trend here on Answers. It is either the holy roller chorus singing the praises of counselling to fix the marraige, Jesus saves, or the self-righteous "divorce is a bad thing, work on it."
Another day, there is the "throw away society" know-it-alls who proclaim to just get a divorce, as if it were that easy.
In life this happens quite a lot also. This is fun for me and hopefully people can get a laugh at my answers because they are all just bs. Really think I would take advice from some of these yahoos?

Because it wasnt my choice.. I filed for legal seperation only.. ( after the wife disappeared for like the 7th time.. ) and spent 2 years fighting DIVORCE (fought like a moFo.. 2 years of it in fact.. in court once a month)... Dosent mater in the curren legal system.. No fault divorce.. My option wasnt an option in the court... Now note I've only been married once.. at age 32.. I'm soon to be 48.. and never been remarried.. And likely never will be... There is no point to marriage IMO...

I've had several long engagements, but never got married. After the bunny sex and starry eyes wears off, the problems with the relationship become apparent and it gets broken off.
Some people get sucked into marriage before the sparkle dust wears off.

It's got nothing to do with "believing in marriage."
The problem is that not enough couples have the emotional maturity to even live with another person for the long run.
They lack sufficient compromise; essential for working out problems.
They lack sympathy and forgiveness; essential for moving forward after problems occur.
They lack a sense of teamwork; there's too much "me" and not enough "we."

Poohcat must be the weaker side... (jk pooh)
We believe in it because we know how hard it is, how amazingly wonderful it is, and how much smarter we are now that we see how illsuited we are for the person we tried to live forever with.
