If There Were No Such Thing As Divorce, Would You Get Married?

Now a days, it seems to me that too many people get married for the wrong reasons. Love and marriage are just not what they used to be. Couples fight over everything and anything which in turn leads to separation and eventually divorce. So I thought to myself, what would it be like if there were no such thing as divorce? If the words "Until death do us part" were in fact the only way to part, would you get married to your spouse all over again?
I pondered on this for a while myself and although my answer is yes, I would still marry my wonderful husband Rudy Pierre today for the simple fact that I am truly in love with him. But more importantly God is the source and foundation of our relationship. If God is love and love conquers all, then nothing or no one can break us.
My cousin said something very wise that stuck with me. "If your man or woman are not God-fearing, what makes you think they'll be loyal to you?" In other words, if you can't answer to and obey God's rules; the creator of the universe" chances are you won't submit, respect or be loyal to your spouse. It just won't work. In this day and age without the foundation of God's love, you will fall short to temptation, greed and selfishness.
My advice for the married folks, before you become another statistic, take yourselves back to the day you and your spouse first met. Think about all those great feeling and how much you desired to be with one another. Ask God to come into your lives and help build back the love that you two once shared. For those of you who got married for any reason other than the fact that you loved each other, pray for love. Pray that God will allow you to experience the true meaning of love and to value and appreciate one another for who they are.
My advice for the single folks looking for love, stability and companionship; understand what it means to be married. Marriage is a life-long commitment. In order for a marriage to work, you will have to compromise, be loyal, be respectful and even submissive at times. Seek advice from couples who've been married for a while and are still in love. Most importantly, make sure you're in love. Having a child together or being together for a long time aren't good enough reasons to get married. You should be in love with each other; period! Therefore, before you decide to tie the knot., ask yourself this simple question; "If there were no such thing as divorce, would I still want to marry this person?" If your answer is yes, than you are on your way to a happy, healthy relationship. If your answer is no, then keep it moving. Don't waste your time or money.
My advice for the non believers and pessimists who don't believe in God and think they can make it on their own; I challenge you to try him.
