Why are people getting divorced???

[Bisch]

I have never been divorced (I just had my 32nd wedding anniversary on last week) but I think divorce is just too easy nowadays. Two people get really mad, march down to a lawyers office and, BAM, it is done.

I know I have wanted to kill my wife several times (not really but I have been really mad at her a time or two) but I have never once wanted to divorce her.

My wife of 17 years and I were divorced on June 18th. We separated last October. Hardest part of my life I have ever experienced. A month after we were divorced, we started talking again, and with God first and foremost in our life's, we are trying to put everything back together. We recently got a house again and we are doing good so far. We both know it will take a lot of work, a lot of forgiving, and a whole lot of communication. The communication part has to be there, that was the start of the path that led us to where we went.

When I got married I was 19 years old and Trina was 20. We have been married 35 years. We as all marriages have had out ups and downs. Marriage is not easy, there has to be give and give. No not give and take but give and give. Without God in the relationship I don't know how some people stay married. IMO God should be #1 in any relationship. If God is #1 then the relationship will work out. Even though the Drs. say my wife and I will not make 50 years together some of them do not know my Awesome God. God willing we are going to make 50 years and we are going to cherish ever minute till then.

Brother, no truer words were ever spoken . I wasn't married but I have a kid with her. I tried everything but you can't fit a round peg in a square hole. If I'm around her more than 5 minutes she still gets on every one of my last nerves. We have a kid together and we get along better now than at any time we were together. We haven't had an argument in over a year and a half. It truly was best for all parties. I don't think you can always say, "Well, you just didn't try hard enough.....", sometimes you're just incompatible. Of course, the trick is to figure that out BEFORE you marry/have kids with them

^^^^Here it is^^^^
Had a friends mom tell me, "You get married when you've got nothing else better to do"!! I've been married some 20+ years now and finding myself more and more "better things to do"!! Still hitched at this point, but it's getting harder and harder every day. Kids are all gone and its just her and I. Kinda running outa reasons to be together. It's been tough, but still hanging in there.
Communication is key. Be happy with each other, or move on. Can't comment any further without venting.

For a marriage to last there has to be trust and communication. My bride and I have been together 43 years.

Was married to the first wife for 27 years. Found out she wasn't faithful to the marriage. I spent 20 thousand trying to " fix It". Worked lots of hours and made alot of money with Wal-Mart. Gone alot, but we did things together. God wasn't in our marriage even though we both believed in God and knew better, how stupid we were. But you know , going through that and hitting rock bottom. Is what helped me to invite Christ into my life. Even though it was tuff on the kids and me I fell it was Gods plan. In my 13th year with my second wife, and I feel God put us together. I've made alot of mistakes in my life, thank you god for loving me and putting me with a women that really loves me.

35 years here and can say with all honesty that if you don't have GOD in both your lives you're just treading water and will sink eventually.

2nd thing is marriage is hard work.
