Divorce isn't the answer, in most cases
I've put together this list, for people who have the strength and desire to try to save their marriage.Almost any marriage has the potential to be saved. Divorce is no bed of roses.
Most people are happier, healthier, and wealthier in marriages than divorced. Children obviously do better.
Many friends, family, counselors, encourage divorce as a way to reduce the near-term pain... while creating more long-term pain. 60 percent of second marriages end in divorce. Divorce isn't necessarily the attractive and quick solution it sometimes appears to be. Divorce may seem attractive for the short-term, but does it really make you happy deep down.
