If a marriage ends in divorce, does that mean it wasn't true love?

No . It means the marriage failed. ALmost half do.
"True" love is a false concept. There is no such thing as perfect love. Love simply is.
And then sometimes--it isn't anymore.

Absolutely not. Unless you live somewhere where you have arranged marriages, which heaven forbid should happen. Even then it can turn into true love. No, if you get a divorce, there could be multiple reasons, but not because it wasn't true because if it wasn't true love then more than likely you wouldn't have gotten married in the first place. You might have grown apart, or just not feel quite as strong about each other, or someone could have cheated (heaven forbid), or whatever the case. By no means does it mean that you weren't really in love.
Hope I helped.

Definitely!
So many people would disagree with this, but if there was ever a problem between a husband a wife, who were truly in love, the problem would be solved no matter what and no matter how long it took. They would never "throw in the towel" and file for divorce, because they know the pain would be worse than the problem.
You know, I just saw all your other answers and it's sad, but to anyone that can say "No" was never in love.
Just wait for the man of your dreams. Someday, you'll know what I mean. It is so worth the wait.

No, it just means that the couple weren't able to live happily or even contentedly in the same home and share their lives together.
I think a lot of good marriages between people who really do love each other end because one or both was expecting it to always be like it was when they first met. When reality sets in, it is much different that what we are taught to expect from movies, books and fairy tales. So, people think something must be wrong and choose to end an otherwise sound relationship.

No, it just means it wasnt meant to be and marriage wasnt in the stars. People can be in real true love but just cant get along living together and divorces happen as a result

No. Marriage is so much more than just love. Love helps but its just one of the ingredients for a good marriage.

Not always it means maybe time has changed things or you grew apart . Possibly just don't have the same things in comon anymore. You will probably never be able to pin point exactly what broke up a marriage.

No, sometimes people think they are in love, when they are only infatuated with the person or with their own picture of what the person is like, then they find out, that's not true and are disappointed, or they are truly in love, but fall out of love for some reason.....

No. I truly loved my first husband, but he started taking drugs and doing things he shouldn't. He wouldn't stop so we divorced, the emotions were real, but the people changed.

No, I don't think so. Besides, what is true love anyway? But depending on how you define it you may or may not have been experienced true love. I think only you yourself can answer that question most honestly.
