Why do people view divorce so negatively? Relationships, just like anything in life, is not meant to be permanent. We fall in love, we fall out of love. Sometimes it doesn't happen in a lifetime, but usually it does. And when it does, there is no shame in moving on, and finding a new love.
We are here to be happy, not live in misery. Being miserable in an unhappy marriage is not our price. Martyrdom is not our fate. When we start viewing relationships as periods in our life where we grow and learn, and once the lesson is taught, we moved on, then our lives will be less complicated and happier.

I would agree that there are some instances where divorce is probably the best things to do, e.g., in an abusive marriage, for instance. I do think, however, that many people rush into divorce too soon. Love as in "falling in love" is a feeling and feelings are always temporary. Anyone who "falls in love" will definite fall out of love sooner or later. True love is lasting, not something one falls out of. That is not to say that you can't get angry or even bored with a loved one, but again, those are emotions. Couple who are committed to a marriage know that there are both good and bad times in a marriage and if you wait long enough, sticking it out, things will change. That is what committment (and love)is all about!
