WHEN YOU GET RIGHT DOWN TO IT, MARRIAGE IS A CONTRACT WHERE TWO PEOPLE MAKE A COMMITMENT TO EACH OTHER.  THERE ARE THOSE IN BUSINESS THAT WOULD NEVER THINK OF BREAKING A CONTRACT.  WITH MARRIAGE, THOSE SAME PEOPLE SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH HEADING TO THE NEAREST DIVORCE COURT.

I’M TALKING ABOUT DIVORCING BECAUSE A COUPLE SIMPLY DOESN’T GET ALONG OR ONE DECIDES THEIR PARTNER IS NO LONGER THEIR “SOUL-MATE”.

HERE’S SOMETHING YOU DIDN’T KNOW.  CHILDREN FROM DIVORCED FAMILIES ARE TWICE AS LIKELY TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL, HAVE LOWER ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND HAVE BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS.  A DIVORCE CAUSED BY A COUPLE NOT GETTING ALONG DOESN’T JUSTIFY A LIFELONG INJURY TO THEIR KIDS.

THE DECISION TO BE FAITHFUL, NO MATTER THE BAD TIMES OR HOW YOUR PARTNER DISAPPOINTS YOU, IS THE TRUE SIGN OF LOVE.  MARRIAGE IS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE GETTING OUT OF IT, IT’S ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE PUTTING IN.
