[A. Urbonas]

In my opinion, divorce is so prevalent in Western countries because personal satisfaction is one of our inherent needs moreso than in any other culture or age. Commitment is negotiable, and ’til death do us part’ are formal words without meaning. Through the ages, no one person has met all the needs of his/her partner. But it is economically feasible to divorce. (I remember reading about a Hungarian couple who divorced, but because they couldn’t afford to separate, still lived together, and slept in the same bed.) If I don’t have any perfect friends, why should I expect to have a perfect spouse? Marriage as portrayed in the media is a disposable relationship when it becomes too difficult. The Bible teaches that marriage is a covenant/agreement between a man and woman where each cares for the other, and is committed to stick it out, come what may. I have heard it said that how a couple handles disagreements and differences will in large part predict how long their relationship will last. Ask anyone who has celebrated their silver, gold or diamond anniversary.
