Did you get married with the mindset that you could get divorced if things didn't work out? With so many people getting divorced I wonder did they know when they married that person that they wouldn't put forth the effort forever? Did they have the mindset that "well if it doesn't work I can just get divorced"? Would you get married if you KNEW you were going to get divorced? Would you marry if you had a doubt that you wouldn't stay together forever? What are your thoughts on divorce? Why doesn't any one fight it out any more?

Yes, I did get married with the concept of possible divorce in mind. I, like most people, am not a fortune teller and can't tell the future. Things happen, things change, people change, life changes. It's not always a matter of "fighting it out". That can only go so far. I'm not going to condemn myself to a life of misery due to some social precept that makes no sense and I don't agree with. If I knew for a fact I would get divorced, I'm not sure, but I would probably get married anyway. Why should I deny myself happiness now for something that won't happen for years to come?

Dear friend, My marriage is a wreak and I am at verge of divorce and while marrying I never had any feeling of divorce in further and if I had I would never get this marriage. But I do hope for some divorce is just a fashion and for some it is just a means to make money so on goes the reasons for divorce. But if the relationship with a marriage that intended for better life finally getting divorce is really a hurting fact. Moreover if there are childern too it would to a big injury to those who really value relationship and marriage.

If only we would know what will happen in the future... we will not marry the man who will only cheat us..or hurt us. A family is composed of a wife, husband and children. What ties them or bonds them is love. When parents has no love to each other better get divorce than let their children see they are fighting every minute. when love is lost...then maybe its not a complete family anymore. But still the best thing to do is try to work things out. Coz in the first place... love is the reason why we get married and I don't believe love will easily lost.

I don't think you will ever be able to do whatever it takes to keep your marriage together if you believe that divorce is an option. Sometimes if you bear with a little more pain and give your relationship to heal it might work but sometimes divorce seems to be an easy way out, it should always be the last option after both partners have tried everything possible to keep it together, you owe it to yourselves to have a beautiful relationship and make it work with all your mind body and soul. Best of luck to all mylotters, happy mylotting.
