Why do married couples separate or divorce? Is the reason valid enough to do it?

Just sent my kids to school and now I'm free to chat again in mylot yehey!! Last Saturday we attended a friends wedding where I also sung. It was so nice and you can really feel love in the air. I just truly hope that the vow made will last. Many married couples I know who were really in-love before are now either seperated or divorced. Is it really worth it to just separate because of the problem? How about the kids? Hope to receive feedback's.
Have a great day!

I wish them a long and happy life together.
A lot of couple these days meet, "fall in love" and fall into bed. There is no getting to know each other, they begin to share intimacies immediately or soon after they meet. Chemistry takes over, not love. When the chemistry finally wears off there is nothing left to attract them and they fight and ultimately break up. This is one reason there is divorce, because their relationship is built on physical attraction only and they never really got to know each other.
Others do love each other or one loves another and the other cheats. Even that can be gotten through sometimes but the lack of trust will destroy them. Sometimes one wants material things and the other has to work to supply them, the material things consume all their time--saving for them, getting them, paying for them, ruining their credit, etc. and then comes the divorce.
Lots of things cause divorce. I was married for 19 years but I fall into the first category I mentioned, the chemical attraction. We were not meant to be but we tried very hard. We're both happy now but many couples part in anger and stay that way.

@HeartBM No, I will never have another relationship. I'm happy being alone. "love" is a mental illness that causes nothing but misery.

@dragon54u Wow. I feel for you my friend. But I also hope you give love another chance if it comes. But if it doesn't, be as happy as you can be. Happiness is a choice

I think it depends on the couple why they separate or get a divorce. Some try marriage counseling and that still does not work and so they have no choice but to get a divorce. My ex and I were wrong for each other in many ways and his behavior was terrible and we could not live the way we were going to we needed to divorce. The sad thing is that I did not think that I would meet the right one that I could have children with and we would be happy so I married someone that was not the right one for me and he the same.
