Well, the thing is, though, that people may go into a marriage with the best of intentions, not even THINKING that they may ever want to get a divorce. However, sometimes (often, probably) things don't work out as we originally anticipated or hoped, and divorce becomes a possibility. You may have been with someone for several years before getting married, and it still might not work out. It happens all the time, and is unfortunate, but I think that if you are not happy in a marriage, you shouldn't stay in it. It's hard to have the same arguments over and over and over again and never get anywhere. Until you experience it, you can't really understand.

I don't know if divorce is always a bad thing for kids. My parents are still married, but honestly when I was younger I used to wish that they would get a divorce because they would fight (by fight I mean argue like cats & dogs) all the time. I love my parents very much, but that's not good for a kid, either.

Honestly, though, marriage is very, very hard. I don't really think that most people are suited for being with one and only one person for the rest of their lives.
