Do you sacrifice all the good times just because of THEM?

I often asked myself why some people wasted their marriage. Or even a simple relationship. Just because of a certain problem they sacrifice everything. What happened to the vow they shared? For better or for worst, for sickness or in health, till do us part?
We have problems. We have bad times. But do we really need to sacrifice all the good times just because of them?

No one wishes to have a failed relationship.
No bride or groom walks down aisle thinking about getting divorce after the vows.
But there are things beyond our control- and those circumstances are enough to prove that we are not powerful enough to control our lives completely.

Well a couple should avoid small problems and misunderstandings,but sometimes situations are too complex .Just a small example,i have a friend who married a nice girl but she has a best friend.His best friend has feeling for her and he always tries to persuade her to break the marriage and be with him.Obviously that made my friend extremely angry and he told his wife to stay away from this friend of her as he is trying to create problems between them.Wife says that she does not have any feelings for that friend and she is extremely committed to their marriage.Also she knows that her friend is not correct in trying to convince her into breaking the marriage but she does not want to lose her best friend so her husband has to adjust.Now whenever she goes out with her best friend for a friendly dinner or talk to him on phone ,my friend and she have long fights.They love each other, they are extremely faithful to each other still they fight on daily basis and to be frank none of them are completely wrong,can this problem be ignored?

Depends on the problem. If he is abusive or unfaithful, then those vows become invalid because they also promised to love, cherish and be true to one another. By doing those things, the promise has been broken. We should also value our selves a little more and have better respect than to stay with a man who will harm us in such a way.

I really have no idea why people waste their marriages. Maybe it's because they didn't know if they were fully ready to get married when they did. Some people are willing to rush it, and that I will not get.

It depends on the kind of problems. There would be deal-breakers for me. Lack of trust for no reason, cheating, abuse, that kind of stuff. Also, when a vow is already broken by one person, and that person is really treating the other badly (especially nowadays, I see a lot of people acting totally different before and after marriage, saying that now I got him/her, I can do anything), it's always better to divorce than slowly getting crazy, or exposing the kids, if there are any, to abuse or just to be witness of two people who don't match each other fight all day and feel the tension.
But there are people who want everything to be perfect, and one thing doesn't go their way, and they are blackmailing the other with divorce, or break up just because the other one doesn't want to paint the walls of the dining room canari yellow... those people I really don't understand.
