There’s really no right answer to the marriage question. Some people are meant to get married; some are not. However, I think the best way to describe marriage is that it’s a very strict and challenging institution to succeed in. You can take two very good people and STILL have a failed marriage.
Marriage isn’t the culprit though. It’s really just not a natural arrangement for us ever-changing, sometimes prideful, sometimes selfish, sometimes unapologetic, and sinful human beings. Not only do you have to tackle your own issues, but you also have to spend lots of time compromising and tackling your partner’s issues, all the while having a career and “new human beings” (children) to teach, care for, and raise. Does that sound like fun…AT ALL?
No, I’m not knocking marriage. Like I said once, there are people who excel in being both a spouse AND a parent. It’s just that marriage is not for most people as evident in the number of divorces there are. Sure, there are several other reasons why divorce happens, but in a world with so many ambitious endeavors and selfish pursuits, a failed marriage will always be more common than not.
