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.
Very true. What I have a problem with, is a bride or groom standing up there on their wedding day thinking "eh, if things don't work out we'll just get divorced" - rather than thinking "if things aren't working out, we'll try to work them out." If you don't honestly believe that this is the one person you want to be with for the long haul, the person who will stick with you through thick and thin, then hold off on making that commitment. If problems come up later on, that's when you sit down and talk, go to marriage counseling, and ultimately, if there is no other solution, you get divorced.
