Some people know how to endure a bad situation. They would keep on hanging onto a relationship even if it is shaky. They never give up. In their marriage, divorce is not an option. On the other hand, there are some who cannot stand even a little disagreement. They would call it quits just to keep their peace. They don't see divorce as anything serious but a way to get out of a bad situation.
I belong to the first group. I think love never fails. If my marriage has problems, I try to practice showing of more love instead of calling it quits. That's just how I am.
What about you? What would you say to someone contemplating divorce?

It depends on how broken it is. When trust and respect are broken, I doubt if I could ever stay in that marriage. my grandfather once told me trust is the basic foundation of all kinds of relationship, break it and you would find it hard to regain. What can make me quit? Cheating and both physical and mental abuse. An abusive marriage is never healthy and nobody should ever endure that.

I am not sure what to say but for me what matters most in life is happiness and If I can't live happy being with the person who gives nothing but pain to me, then why endure? Why sacrifice myself in darkness when I know there's always a light outside waiting for me. The purpose in life is to be happy while we live and if we never have that, then what's the point of living?
This is interesting. I want you to interact with me on this part my friend to know what are your thoughts and views base on what I responded. Thank you.

@sw8sincere Happiness for me is knowing I have a relationship with my creator; the best friend anyone can ever have. I have discovered I am happy when I obey his commands.

I believe that both parties should do everything to make it work but for the sake of peace, I also like that divorce is a viable option.

Marriage is a holy union between two people in the sight of God. Unfortunately, many people nowadays forget that.

That is what many forget. They have promised to be together and that was done in the sight of God. When they want to call a divorce, they take God out of the equation. If only they would remember to put him into the discussion when contemplating divorce.

I am divorced and have been for many years now. We went to counseling but nothing worked so the best thing was to get divorced. There were no human children. I say that because I had a dog and cat and I wanted us to be safe. If there is no way to fix it and the marriage is not good you need to divorce and move on with your life. If children are involved you have to get them to understand it is not their fault it is that Mommy and Daddy just do not get along and cannot live with each other anymore.

I am divorced and I had really thought that if I sought marriage counseling things would have worked. But I believe everything worked out the way it was supposed to. Its all an individual basis when considering divorce. Ah such a hard topic. Sorry this probably did not help.
