I also think that a lot of people marry the wrong person just because of the intense pressure our society puts on people (especially women) to get married. That's what I don't like about their term "promote marriage" and, the big one during previous elections, "family values". They make it sound like if you're not married, you have no morals or values. Perhaps you just value yourself enough to know that you don't deserve to be controlled, mistreated or abused.
After two long term periods of marriage counseling with a wonderful psychologist, my (now ex) husband asked me to come talk to his pastor with him for marriage counseling. The pastor's counseling was "You can't get divorced because it's a sin". That was really helpful counseling...
