Getting married when you know it won't work

I have heard this a number of times of couples you got married and the marriage fell right apart! All because one of the marrying couple knew it wouldn't work and went through with it anyway! Why do people do this? I don't understand!

Well, because sometimes they would think that it'll work out that they would learn to love the person in time. But I think thats wrong...its better to be really sure of your partner before you go ahead and marry each other.

It would be nice to see couples know each other better before getting married! I know that can lead to some divorces!

I think marriage won't work if one of the couple or both of the couple will not make a move to solve their differences. Marriage is not for one person only it is for the two person being united as one so the two should work so that they will have a peaceful and joyful relationship.

I dont know one good reason why people would get married knowing that it wont work. I guess sometimes a person might think things will get better after they get married and then find out they were wrong. I got married when I was just 18. I loved him and I thought that I could make it work, I thought that getting married would fix our problems but they only got alot worse. So we ended up seperated within 6 months. I thought love was enough and that if I married him he would know I loved him and everything would be ok.

There are many reasons for this.People often expect too much of the opposite.Before marriage,they lack of knowing well or knowing too little of the opposite.It happened that they both cannot tolerate the opposite,they separate.I know several couples divorce after marrying not long.Both of them are injured.
