After my best friend, now my own sister is getting a divorce! She is married for 12 years and has 4 children! I feel so mizerable and yet I am getting married! I am starting to have second thoughts. Everybody is divorcing and I don't feel like getting married! What if I end up divorced? My God..What is wrong with everybody?

I think that this is a useful situation to you. Your are about to embark on a new life with your future husband. Look around you. See what these people's marriages were lacking and use that information to better your own marriage. Don't be scared because everyone else is divorcing. Right now, we live in a disposable marriage society. People don't take their vows as seriously as they did in the past. I don't know why that is, but it's true. I have known some people to divorce over the stupidest things, that could have worked out if they were sincerely committed to the relationship. Most people find that the newness of wedded bliss has worn off, and then real life begins and it's very hard to adjust. Keep that in mind. Once you find your groove as a married couple things will be fine. Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials and don't worry so much!

Congratulations for your coming marriage. Marry with a positive thinking. Your married life will be happy. Why do you think negative? There are many reasons for divorce. May be something went wrong somewhere for them. Let us hope best for you. Further married life is a thing to be gone through in one's life. Unless you write exam, how will you pass it? I wish you write the exam and pass in it with flying colours. Best of Luck my friend.

Your work has been made easy- instead of having second thoughts, make an evaluation of why they got so easily divorced, learn from their mistake and avoid similar mistakes, you will probably hel many around you to succeed intheir marriage. Remember, what God has joined together, no man should put asander! Divorce goes counter to this biblical truth.
