I wouldn't know. It's been nearly five years and we're still happily married.
We were both entirely sure when we walked down that aisle. If you aren't, don't get married.

I think divorce is too commonplace these days, and come people's reasons for getting married are ludicrous, but I've been married for 6 1/2 years (I know, it's not 20, but it's not 2 either) and I'm still happily in love with my husband, through some major rough patches.
I agree that if you're no really sure or into it, or if you're not willing to try, don't bother getting married, but some people do last, and then marriage is a beautiful thing to share.

I think the #1 reason people end up in divorce court is because they settle for something that they really don't want. Many woman marry simply because they have been asked. I married my husband because I love him with all my heart and soul. We both knew marriage would not be easy, but we loved one another and both give 100 percent to make sure it works. We have been married over a year and every single day I fall deeper in love with him. But I agree with you...people need to really look at and consider marriage closely before they jump in over their heads.

I agree, I think many reasons are that people date for six months, get engaged, get married within a few months without really knowing each other.
Then the woman expects the guy to spend at least two months pay on a ring, thus going into debt. Then they have a $20,000 + wedding ceremony/reception putting them into even MORE debt, which will start the money arguments.
IMO, I think people should date for at least 2 years before proposing. Then when you are engaged, enjoy your engagement and give yourself time to plan a wedding, to save up for it, so give the engagement period at least a year (some places you need to do this as the places fill up at least a year in advance).
My fiance and I dated for a little over three years before proposing, and we are having an almost two year engagement. It would be a little less than two years but we need at least a year in advance to reserve our ceremony/reception site (Outer Banks of North Carolina). We are also paying for the wedding ourselves. We are not taking out a loan to go into major debt and we are budgeting ourselves quite nicely by using our income tax refunds to pay for it all. We are not expecting our families to pitch in, anything from them would be welcome but not necessary.
Over 50% of marriages end in divorce and mine will NOT be one of them! :)

The point of getting married is your love for eachother. Love is like a bond that you should never try to break... if you aren't feeling that love, than you should try to save your marriage for when you actually find the person you feel that kind of love for. The person you marry should be just as willing as you to spend the rest of their life with you.

Because marriage is ordained of God. Of course it's not to be rushed into, but it is an incredibly important thing not only for us as individuals, but for all of society. If the family isn't succeeding, the society isn't succeeding. We all need to see the importance of families built upon love and TRUST.

Because when marriage does work, it's the most wonderful thing in the world.
Without big risks, you cannot have big wins.
