The reason there are so many divorces is because a lot of people are so full of themselves, self-centered and selfish. They think everything revolves around them, and that is the only way they look at it.
They think the other person should change for them, to be what they want them to be.
The reason there are so many divorces is because one or both parties fail to put their spouse first in the relationship.
Pssst, ... that is the secret, ... BOTH spouses should put the other spouse first. If both put themselves aside and put the other first, everything is almost perfect.
I chose to love my wife unconditionally. I didn't have to test drive her, .. I didn't base my decision to marry on, "if the sex is good", or if "she can cook good", or "if she doesn't do things that drive me crazy".
We were 17 & 16 when we met, we dated four years, we fell in love, we adored each other. I ask her to be my wife, forever, .. she said yes.
No prenup, no trial period, no living together to "test drive" her like a car, or "try her on to see if she fits" like a shoe.
Total commitment from day one. I told her I will be here forever, she told me she would do the same, ... we have never looked back. That was 36 wonderful years ago.
There are so many divorces because some people can't quit thinking about themselves long enough to love someone else unconditionally.
