[quote=Anonymous]There are many reasons, op, some of which you’ve already been given.

Often it’s two things in my oppinion, either one or both halves of the couple engage in behavior that is untennable to their partner, or the marriage isn’t prioritized.

We talk a lot about supporting our friends (you were told to “be there” and “listen” to your friend, and in all these pages, nobody has told you “go to your husband, hug him and tell him you love him”.

Think about that.  Your marriage needs care too, and if it doesn’t get it, there is no desire to stay together.

Add to this, it wasn’t too long ago that people died early and young.  Many people went onto remarry.  I think there is something in our DNA that makes us fall in love again.

It’s no surprise that if one partner is gone in all but name, the brain, heart and body think “next”.

This trait may not be appropriate in today’s society, but neither is all the salt we eat (salt is of course essential to life) and nobody views eating too much salt as much of a problem.  P

I also think that many people don’t have the skills to be in a relationship.  I truly think that “marriage and family” should be a school class, teach the laws, teach the expectations, teach budgetting, teach what you do with kids on a rainy day, all sorts of things.

There seems to be a lot of “hang onto your life and take turns” and if you don’t parent together, it’s real easy to decide you’d rather parent with someone else.   [/quote]
