Yeah its not very evident these days but then there are some circumstances when people shouldn't stay in a marriage, like if it is really unhealthy or something.

We wrote our own vows.
They went something like this;
Rod's: I promise to put the toilet seat down after using the bathroom in the middle of the night. I promise to put my sock in the hamper and not under the bed. I promise never to say you look fat in a dress. I promise to change at least 10 diapers on each child that we have. I promise that I will never ever cheat on you and if I do, you can kill me. ;)
Andrea's: I promise to forgive you when you leave the toilet seat up in the middle of the night after I tripped on your socks that weren't in the hamper. I promise not to blame you for getting me pregnant which is why I look fat in that dress. Ten diapers! Good luck with that! If you cheat on me you're going to wish you were dead.
Amen. :)

That's a very good point. If it's that bad, then its best to just cut all ties and leave.
I guess once upon a time, people would work through things no matter how bad they were, that's all I'm saying.

Well people often suffered in silence and lived miserable lives because they thought they couldn't get out of the marriage.

I love it. :D
For our's it was closer to:
You want to marry her?
You want to marry him?
We were married by a Judge who was a friend of the family in his apartment. I sometimes think that was better for us than the stress of a larger wedding. :)

That's true, but sometimes they decided not to live like that and do something about it, other than leave. They'd do everything they could, and more, to improve their situation because divorce was the last thing on their mind.
To some, including me, death is better than divorce. That's going along the lines of the vows, till death do us part.

Yes that sounds nice, its what suits the individuals that's important. The stress of a larger wedding can be tough!

I guess that's true, divorce seems easier these days rather than staying and working on it. I guess it depends on the situation.

Hi Sergie!
Also, welcome pinkangelgirl. Wow, that's a mouthful. I'm giving you a nickname. Pinky. You are now Pinky. No, you don't have a say in the matter. ;)
Those weren't my actual vows, but they would have been good ones. :)
Rod and I have been through a lot. The death of three parents, mine only 6 1/2 months apart when our son was only 2 yrs and 4 months old.
The death of his mother almost 3 years ago and the having to deal with his sister about the will, which still hasn't been resolved.
The day to day stuff, arguing about money, work, the kids, you know, normal married stuff.
The fact is, I love him. Yes, I know I could find someone else. Yes, I could be just as happy with someone new. The thing is, I don't want to. I love him. More importantly, I like him. I like everything about him. I mostly like the fact that he likes and loves me too.
We're a family and we're here for the long haul.

Sounds like you have a strong marriage and a good attitude towards it:)

Well once upon a time, divorce was such taboo. To even mention the word once in a marriage was to drop a huge bomb-shell and the relationship will struggle to get to where it was before even the word was mentioned. Now it gets used all the time, for small things, big things, things that could be worked out, things that need a lot of work.
I still do not believe in divorce and never will. I no matter how hard my life gets or what happens, I would try to work things out because that's how I believe it should be. Divorce should never be an option because people make mistakes and things happen, but everything, and I mean everything can be sorted if both parties are willing to give it their all.

I'm an okay mom and wife Sergie. The fact is, you're only as good as your partner and your partner is only as good as you. It's a lot of work, and it's worth it. :)
