Marriage comes with vows. Vows like through thick and thin the couple will work and stay together through everything, no matter what may come. Unfortunately, this doesn’t last. The vows stated, and supposedly meant, during the wedding ceremony have long been forgotten and divorce looms over the couple. There are some things that warrant a divorce like infidelity and abuse, but, unfortunately, marriages today seem to be falling apart over almost anything. As soon as trouble comes, couples are quick to pack up and leave. Research has shown that almost half of all marriages today end in divorce.
