[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Luck is not a thing which exists. Trust, fidelity, integrity, commitment, love, and honor are some of the ingredients of a successful marriage. Lick is a justification people use to explain their particular negative marriage situation and ultimate failure. [/quote]

How would you describe a marriage that failed because [b]one partner became mentally ill? [/b]That wasn’t a failure of any kind on the part of the other person.[/quote]

See: commitment[/quote]

You can be as committed as you want to the marriage, but if they start hearing voices in their head which they believe is a supernatural being, and the voices tell them to leave you, it's over.[/quote]

That is an extreme example. My dh has OCD and has gone off the deep end a few times. We work together to maintain his well being. I can't address your specific situation, but we knew about the diagnosis going into marriage.[/quote]

It is not an "example" it is what actually happened to me. Such delusions are rare. And thus to have a marriage fail because of them is extremely unlucky, wouldn't you say?

I got quite a bit of professional advice to the effect that "you can't fix this, nobody can" - so anyone who blathers to me about "commitment to the marriage" is simply an ignoramus.[/quote]

I have a friend whose husband developed schizophrenia after they were married.  She tried everything to help him but after he was arrested several times, almost bankrupted her and almost burned the house down she had to leave.  It had nothing to do with commitment. [/quote]
