divorce

As I scroll through the topics and read comments on so many posts involving relationships, it truly breaks my heart that the topic of divorce is so loosely thrown around. When two people get married, they exchange vows in front of their closest family and friends. That isn't just for show; the vows are SUPPOSED to be a promise between two people who love each other and desire to spend the rest of their lives together. 
I am amazed at how little it takes for people to justify ending a marriage. NO WONDER the family unit is disintegrating. Divorce is such an easy option and it seems as though people have it in the back of their minds, almost like "oh if this doesn't work out, it's ok because we can always just get a divorce." If that's your mindset, don't get married! We are taking away the sanctity of marriage and it kills me. 
Marriage is not easy but we as a society have been taught that if something is too hard, it's okay to just give up. I understand in instances of infidelity or abuse, but things like receiving a text message that was meant for a friend from your husband have been justified as being grounds for a divorce. Was this text rude? Oh I'm sure it was. However because your feelings are hurt doesn't mean you should end your marriage. People change over the years and the person you met and fell in love with in your twenties may not be the same in their thirties or forties. Learn from them and communicate your needs, desires, and concerns. Divorce should be the absolute LAST option, but unfortunately it is all too often the first. 
Sorry for the rant. It just really breaks my heart.
