Growing up in a Christian home and country, I have been taught that marriage is a sacred sacrament and should not be broken at all costs. I had just attended my cousin's wedding a few days ago, and I can say that it is truly a beautiful things to have and celebrate. It is just a sad thought that many marriages end up in divorce.
The author cites numerous factors why marriages end up in divorce. There are the outside pressures like job loss, troublesome in-laws, and other things. But a marriage fails mostly because of the people themselves. That is why we must choose our future spouses carefully and be sure of our choice, no matter what.
People need to learn how to live with another person and to grow with him or her. In order to do that, the couple must learn to effectively communicate what they feel, think and want. Although you cannot expect your spouse to totally change into what you want him or her to be, it is always better to communicate your thoughts so that the other person will not be completely lost. Of course, communication should start before the actual marriage so that you are sure of the person you are about to marry.
Marriage is a sacrifice and it requires a give and take relationship. People have to learn to work together and listen to each other in order to get through the ups and downs of marriage. They have to be strong not only as a couple but also as individuals so that third parties will not have too much impact on the marriage. Marriage is a lifelong struggle and the couple must continuously grow and work on it to have a long and (mostly) happy marriage. Otherwise, it can only end in divorce.
