R. C. SproulDivorce is the hardest obstacle I've had to overcome in my life. I would like to believe that most people don't get married anticipating divorce.

Suze OrmanHollywood overstates both the romance of marriage and the prevalence of divorce. Celebrities have divorce rates that are atypical and higher than most couples.

Respect is essential - not just respecting your partner but being sure your partner equally respects you.

Betty RollinIf either person isn't 100% committed to scale every mountain that comes before you to make your relationship work then you aren't ready to enter into it. That's part of the reason the divorce rate is so high. People are entering into the commitment they're making without having the strength of character, fortitude, and resolve to keep the promises they're making to each other and also to God.
