DIVORCE

The fact that 50% of all marriages end in divorce is a myth. The truth is that 75% of couples are happily married. In 1970 there was a peak in divorce in the United States because of the No Fault Act in 1969. This act made it so that people could get divorced for no reason pretty much. 70% of Americans who divorce regretted the divorce and wish they would have tried to save their marriage. And interestingly that same number (70%) of the males remarried.

So why do people divorce? A list that we came up with in class is:
-people are set in their ways (stubborn)
-Skill sets
-it is simply an option
-kids
-finances

A prophet gave this formula for a NEVER FAILING MARRIAGE.
1= Careful selection
2=Great Unselfishness
3=Continued Courtship

These sound pretty simple, but because if stupidity and selfishness marriages fail. It is worth the extra work to keep your marriage happy!
