Reply #16: That's because many people get married for the wrong reasons [View All]

Or too young. Or when they're not ready. Or because they think it's the "proper" thing to do. Those people get divorced.

My wife and I have been together for over 10 years, and every day is like the first date. I have other friends and family members who have married, and then divorced, in the same span. What's the difference?

I married my wife for only one reason...because I love her more than anything in the world, and I'd do anything to make her happy.

Other friends married because they were pregnant, or because their parents bugged them, or because they thought they'd get something out of it, or because the sex was good...and on and on and on. They are all divorced today.

If you marry for any reason other than devotion, then you're doomed to divorce (or a long, crappy marriage).
