Marriage is among the most intimate of all human relationships. Couples who give their relationship time, effort, and commitment find marriage as one of life's greatest fulfillments. On the other hand, those who fail to work toward mutual goals and bring variety into their marriage, find it as a source of great frustration and misery as such results in a poor, static and routine relationship. Marriage is a union between husband and wife. It allows no pre-conditions as many have done these days. It is a lifelong commitment - "for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in health or in sickness, until death do us part." Indeed, no man may divorce what God has joined together.

Marriage is an institution setup by God and if you went your marriage to work, you must have working relationship with God. That is the first thing, Know God mind concerning your marriage thought his word the Bible.

Bringing tears to my eyes bro. It so sad to see this couples nowadays(mainly celebrities) get married.. and then divorce! Like it`s nothing. It`s like people are getting married left and right without thinking and are okay with it... why? because they know that there`s divorce that can save them. Do like Will Smith and Jada Pinkth Smith! And take divorce out as an option!

amidst the prevailing social climate whereby these is a massive and alarming increase in the number of broken families, How can true marriage last? "Marriage is to be honored by all, and husband and wives must be faithful to each other. God will judge those who are immoral and those who commit adultery"." For marriage to succeed, the husband and wife should honor their vows to each other and remain faithful to the institution created by God.

Gelayagui!!! W e l c o m e to Mylot!!! I ddoooo love your discussion! You make me feel very relieved. You make me sigh. Let me tell you: my parents got divorced after 29 years of marriage, 13 years ago. They told me they decision just a day after my birthday, and 6 days before our marriage. So you describe quite well what Marriage and divorce drive us through. I´ve fought with my husband in a Church Ministery against my parent´s lifestyle, this year we got 13 years of marriage, and I´ll go on May to Fatima to thank our Lady. Your words are to my heart like the butter to the bread. Kind blessings!... Dainy

Thanks Dainy, I am sorry for what happen to the marriage of your parents my friend but you can't go the same when you hold on to your promised. Remember that love in marriage demands constant and equality communication. A married couple who, for business and other mundane reasons, neglects this basic need would realize too late that the emotional euphoria of courtship, engagement, wedding, and subsequent honeymoon could easily wiped out by the stress of daily life. Sad to say, we live in a time when marital unhappiness is very common, when "irreconcilable differences" become reasons for marriage break-ups, and when divorce is seen as a convenient fire escape when marital conflicts get too hot to handle. Indeed, marriage is treated more and more as a temporary arrangement of convenience.

A VOW is supposed to be unbreakable. It does not even have to take a decree from God to make that commitment work. What is verbally uttered holds. Breaking the vow reflects much on the people who broke it. Perhaps they do not know the meaning of worse, or poorer, or sickness, that is why they gave in. It takes character to hold on to the vow. This is presupposing that the nuptials knew who they were marrying in the first place. The psychological reasons people are invoking are quite lame to me. You have to love someone before you marry. And you have to know someone before you can love. The deception thing though that is prevalent in many marital court cases is another story.

Marriage is a great thing when it works. When it doesn't, there's a lot of struggle and it's really hard to live with your spouse. I think it's important for divorce in this day and age . That way women who are being abused can leave instead of killing the men they live with.

Mutual respect between the married couple is an essential ingredient for a successful and lasting marriage. The husband should not be venting out his frustrations from other aspects of his life upon his wife who is weaker partner. A violent man is an abomination in the sight of God, as the following citation reveals; "Don't envy violent men. Don't copy their ways. For such men are an abomination to the Lord, but he gives his friendship to the godly".

As Kramer would say to Seinfeld. "What are you thinking about jerry? Marriage, children? Its man made prison!" So I tell you do not be pushed by society to get married. If you feel like being single that alright. Being alone is better than getting a divorce and loosing money, ruining some persons life (the children if you have) and making a great sin to God.

You are right in stating ruining some persons life, thats true because a divorce is unpleasant and painful for all members of a family. The breakup of the family makes both husband and wife feel lost and alone. They need time to become accustomed to their new situation before they can be really happy again. children are greatly affected also especially because they are younger and more dependent on adult.
