I’m wondering if it’s because people are not willing to compromise in their marriages, if there’s another person involved or they’ve just fallen out of love. It seems that people believe that it is easier to replace their partners, and they do. Do people still include the words for better or worst, for richer or poorer and in sickness and in health in their vows or is it until I get sick of you and than I’m history? It’s been awhile since I’ve been to a wedding.
Is it unfair to mislead your partner, and have them believe that you love them when you really don’t? I would be devastated. I would rather part than sleep with someone whose heart is with another or simply not with me.
How do we get back to the true meaning of a marriage? What do we as women need to do to stay in our marriages and ride out the storms? What is it that men need to do? I would love to hear from women who have left their marriages and those who have stayed. You may hold the key to a successful marriage or may have some advice for those of us who are struggling in our marriages and love life. Leave us a comment.
I agree the women's liberation movement did help make it easier for women and men to walk away from their responsibilities. http://whenmotherscry.blogspot.com
Personally, I have stayed with my husband through all the years. We have been through a lot as a family with serious medical issues in which I confronted the possibility of my death head on. Making it through extreme adversity like this has made us stronger as a couple. Frivolous issues just don't seem to matter having gone through what we have endured.
Marriage is difficult and nobody can know why others divorce. The main thing is to constantly work on it and be devoted as much as possible. However there is only so much a person can do. It is about happiness.
