Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thoughtAnd of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledgeAnd of His signs is your sleep by night and day and your seeking of His bounty. Indeed in that are signs for a people who listen﴿ [Quran 30 : 21-23]

“Emily and Deb”??? I knew gay divorce would happen _eventually,_ but given the recent struggles in order to gain the right to marry (and the still-possible danger of the Supreme Court overturning that right), it’s just a weird thing to consider a gay couple even doing.

In the U.K. 1 in 2 marriages end in divorce, why on earth people would even bother. It’s a failed institution. As with everything the government is involved with, they always royally screw it up.
Chevy Boy

It is a failing institution, no doubt! But divorce is not the government’s fault though they have to catch up with life’s progression. Life condition changes too fast for most countries to catch up with amendments. Royalty is dead, if not dead!

I think we need to go back to the original meaning of sacrifice. If sacrifice is being mindful of future events then is it really sacrifice. In today’s society where everything is about fairness.. it’s no wonder divorce rates are at an all time high.

They want to kill us off depopulate and connect the human Brain to ai. Read culture and technology by Andrew Murphie & John Potts. It’s all in there as literature not conspiracy. They talk about nano bots. Which can be used to destroy organs. Fauci also said that trumps administration would experience a surprise outbreak back in 2017. This is a PLANDEMIC.

I’m not trying to be racist or anything like that but most of the people who are getting a divorce are white and black because if you’re Indian and you get a divorce, honey it’s going to be really hard to find another husband because most Indians have this image that if you got a divorce once you’re going to keep getting a divorce over and over with everyone they marry it’s not the person you’re dating who’s the problem it’s their parents

Managed to make it 18 years on my first (and only so far) marriage. Eventually she just gave up on us and even she admits it.. She decided she just wanted to stay home with her parents. I moved to make money for us since she didn’t want to do anything more than what she wants.. yeah she decided she wanted the money I earn just without me. Going on 6 months of divorce now.. 18 years of work for nothing…

It’s easy to say all this but none of this matters in a marriage… if you try to play the protection game it’s used against you as being non-supportive of the marriage. We don’t go into marriage planning on divorcing.. if you are then you shouldn’t be getting married in the first place. You never plan to fail. You should be making it work.. the problem is when you are trying to make it work but the other person isn’t. When the other person changes…

Unfortunately, the American Society is riddled with, me, me, me, I, I, I, entitled mentality. Don’t know what the heart if for until it’s broken. So sad. Live and learn, instead of learn, then live right. Nice to see a woman in a Dress 👗 everything is fucken spandex now.

I can’t help but draw a parallel to a line from Frankenstein,
“To examine the causes of life, we must first have recourse to death,”
So to figure out what works in a marriage, you look at divorce… Not very romantic if i’m being honest and not a first date conversation starter.
