ending their marriage WAY to soon..after only 1 1/2 years they barely know each other. Why do people give up so easily??? They were madly in lve, dated, married, had a baby, and now they are giving it all up...I absolutely can’t understand that. (we have 51 years under our belt)
Giving it up because its easy and accepted.
26 years here. Not all of them pretty. But you make a commitment with someone you love and you make it work. Only two things are deal breakers: Physical abuse and drug addiction. Everything else can be worked through.
This entire family is a mess.
I believe what is or has been lost in decisions to marry is the feeling/attitude/thinking that the other person is someone to be valued very highly as a person aside from the initial passions of ‘love’. Through days of ups and downs and arguments it is this feeling/acknowledgement of value that nourishes true enduring love. I think about this after 57 years with a most wonderful and valuable person.
