The bottom line is that loving your spouse is a choice not an emotion and if you are truly attempting to be God pleasing you will choose to love your spouse period, even if you don't have strong emotional ties to them. In doing this God will bless you and in many cases provide you with the emotional attachment and excitement.

I am quite disgusted with several of my female childhood friends that have recently walked out on their marriages for no other reason than that they “weren’t happy”. Both claim they’re husbands did nothing wrong, tried their best, and are really nice guys. Both seemed unconcerned by fact that they were tearing their children away from their fathers. Both have lost a lot of my respect. Is it just me, or are women these days much more likely than men to walk for no particular reason, other than self absorption. It's like there's some cultural force telling them divorce is chic.

It's not you. I've seen it a lot.

It's just you. I don't discount your evaluation of women, I think it's spot on target. I do however think you're giving men more credit than they deserve. I've seen several of my male family members, friends, and acquaintences (all in their 40's) run off with younger, prettier women. This behavior is by no means limited to women.

That mentality really disgusts, me, too.
