Sometimes you are like oil and water and never should have married in the first place. Sometimes someone is too immature and wasn't prepared to give up the single life. Yes, marriage is hard work but it takes TWO to do the work and sometimes there is only one person working on it. That is exhausting. There are many reasons for divorce and hopefully we don't judge too harshly those that make that decision based on the few that make it too lightly.Michael Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085444510827793704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724717056483296699.post-4642368383676562382011-04-01T14:28:41.632-07:002011-04-01T14:28:41.632-07:00Great post!

We have are ups & downs some more extreme than others ~thank goodness most days we just flow and fewer days like today when the way he chews his food gets on my nerves...but that too is okay. In the end we both have the same want ~each other. I think we understand that life happens, moods change and we know each others expectations...<br /><br />Your comment in the last paragraph caused me to laugh out loud....MOMMETIMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114549237947026195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724717056483296699.post-9131772035707203962011-03-17T21:07:57.760-07:002011-03-17T21:07:57.760-07:00Sometimes it seems like people feel like they need...Sometimes it seems like people feel like they need to take the next step in their relationship even if they maybe aren't completely sure that their significant other is "the one."

So I tried to stay and work it out even after he cheated and had a baby with another woman but one day I looked in mirror and said I am worth more than this and I left. My divorce was the best thing that happened to that relationship but I still believe that marriage is forever.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15013042634342778520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724717056483296699.post-55283902411492634042011-03-15T02:51:13.618-07:002011-03-15T02:51:13.618-07:00loved your post!!!!!

I'm thankful my hub and I both come from traditional parents who were married over 50 years. After outliving 2 husbands, my mother still married again at the age of 80. We've been married 32 years and still learned something from a very interesting no-nonsense, easy to understand book: The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman.<br />I would hate to be single in today's world of dating -- wouldn't even know how to act.Good Companyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09199803488145525441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724717056483296699.post-56977273582753260832011-03-14T11:58:03.065-07:002011-03-14T11:58:03.065-07:00Great post!

After 40 years ...Such a good post and so, so true!<br /><br />After 40 years of marriage, it still "ain't easy" let me tell you, then again, I've never been so delusional to think it ever was going to be a piece of cake. So many changes as we progress through the years once that honeymoon portion of married life scoots by. <br /><br />As you grow older together, sometimes there are moments when you question each other's sanity but the times where you can laugh about nothing at all are the ones that really count.<br /><br />I think we all agree on the thong underwear thingy..couldn't possibly offer anything positive about owning or wearing them.<br /><br />Blessings to you and your hubby for many years of love and happiness.<br /><br />PattyPattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00983686239033756332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724717056483296699.post-2419054180427555972011-03-14T03:05:33.582-07:002011-03-14T03:05:33.582-07:00Really enjoyed this post.

A lot of my friends divorced and are on husband/wife number three or four. <br />It's not easy to stay together especially as we all constantly change as we get older. <br />I'm glad you've found someone to share your life with again. it can't have been easy to lose someone you love so early in your young life.<br />I wish you continued happiness and Hubby and I will give you a 'zimmer frame' race in a few years time :)Carol E Wyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375439814725846546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724717056483296699.post-79612738954997216202011-03-14T00:02:21.629-07:002011-03-14T00:02:21.629-07:00We had a discussion about marriage in our congrega...We had a discussion about marriage in our congregation today. So much is put into the wedding day these days, but not enough into the <i>marriage</i>. Everything you mentioned is a big factor, also wandering eyes, too much time spent on the Internet versus attention to our mate, etc. My husband and I figure we are in it for the long haul because we made our commitment and we're sticking to it, working out what we need to work out as life throws things at us. The examples of our parents and grandparents are big helps, but we are all our own couples and have to make it work for our own relationships. Divorce is a reality, but sometimes perhaps too hastily chosen? I don't know. <br /><br />A widow at 26? I can't even imagine. I'm glad in time you were able to find someone with whom to spend the rest of your lives!<br /><br />I've enjoyed your topic obviously :DJen HaHAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532358682600457895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724717056483296699.post-49297061495328213652011-03-13T23:30:21.950-07:002011-03-13T23:30:21.950-07:00Loved this post!!!
