The problem is people get married for all the wrong reasons.
When it is love, considerations such as financial security, looks, social standing, class and other superficial demands cannot and do not exist.
As it stands, marriage is a commodity. The minute it becomes too uncomfortable, the weight of its real demands too difficult to shoulder, it is tossed for a better shot at happiness.
Throw in the fact that divorce judges run kangaroo courts, dumping the weight of responsability onto the man, with generous benefits to the woman. This is why they force men to support children that are not theirs, allow women to claim rights to a mans sperm, and a whole host of absurdities.
If a divorce is granted, it should be 50/50, with both parties having to prove they are carrying equal weight and responsability, shared custody, reciprocal child support. I would also remove lawyers from the picture. They are nothing but an financial drain on the family and are often the instigators of extreme hostility.
My wife and I are married until death parts us. I am quite certain that which ever of us passes first, the other will pass shortly after of a broken heart. Of this, I have no doubt.
Love is not easy, but it does last forever.
Not to be a prick, but this womans brother clearly was not the man she, or he, thought. Perhaps, in fact, he was only a man in body, and that is truly sad. I know of many males, but few true men. Having a cock and muscle do not complete that package.
