Funny how the liberal mantra is that marriage makes people miserable... yet 20 years into the “divorce is cool/I’m never getting married” experiment and anti-depressant use is up 400%.

Fact is, despite the ups and downs of a traditional marriage, people are overall much happier in their natural state of marriage and family.

LOL...in short reality is just what it says it is. Theres no changing it to suit modern fantasies, it doesn’t bend to moral relativism.

I'm going to chime in here. I've been married to the same woman for 38 years. Although the road has been rocky from time to time, we stuck it out.

We used to fight every day, practically. Now we hardly have a cross word for each other.

And I think that is why a lot of marriages fail. First big argument and it's over. Well, I don’t know everybody in the world, but I would be willing to bet BIG money that no one in the world can live with another person for any length of time without some major disagreement happening.

You decide that this is the person that you want to live with, and then you stick with it (absent violence or adultery). That's the only way to make it. And a little hep from God doesn't hurt any, either.
