That is like trying to reverse the flow of a river with a canoe paddle.

Only if they weren't right for each other, and don't have anything left to teach each other.

But you can't make love happen where there is no potential.  For a relationship to last a really long time, the people need to always be able to teach each other new things.  With some couples, they can continue to teach each other new things for 50 years or more.  With others, you have already taught the other person everything they are going to learn from you within the first few years.

And putting effort into challenges is like trying to stop an unstoppable force? Wed all be speaking German right now if people held that bullshit attitude

Sometimes separation is best for all parties involved, even when children are in the picture, there is no disputing that fact.

The issue at hand is the meaning of the institution of marriage, one starts with the mindset of commitment to god and family, and other mindset is it's good when I am having fun, if not I will get divorced. Which mindset do you think will have a stronger chance of keeping a marriage together?

Marriage is not just a union on a paper contract recognized by the state, marriage has a important history in human development, and is the cornerstone of civilization. Most people around the world don't even have the "luxury" of getting divorced for "not in love anymore" purposes, they stay together for survival purposes. Most Americans are so self centered and spoiled, they are conditioned to only think about their immediate gratification, and if that breaks up the family unit, too bad is their attitude.

Holy shit what a bunch of bullshit going on in this thread.  Somebody has to be trolling hard.  I can't believe anybody has that much a hard on for the "sanctimony" of marriage and the nuclear family.

What would you prefer, a father with 5 different kids with 5 different mothers, or a mother with 4 children from 4 different fathers?

How about a transsexual parent, or a parent in prison, that would be better than a married man and women with a commitment to the family?

"commitment to the family?"  wtf does that even mean?

A man and a woman are fully capable to raise balanced children together while living independent lives from each other.  Its not that hard.  Nobody even brought up the rest of your bullshit tangents


Your a shitty troll.  Your not even mildly amusing
