Great article

Today is our wedding anniversary, with your article, you gave us the chance to reconsider 19 years of marriage, fortunately we got check marks in each number, thank you!

So I loved reading this***

Great article. Very few couples kip up that romance.

So true!

Great article! Although #5 is pretty obvious and I disagree with #7. Why should someone feel trapped in a marriage? This person shouldn't be married in the first place. If I don't have a valid reason to a get a divorce, I should honour my vows and stay with my loved one.

I've taken my marriage really seriously for 19 years, and I'm an atheist. My civil marriage is as important to me as a religious marriage might be for others.

Though nice article and I'm sure my husband agrees

Truly beautiful article

@Liz only if you believe in a god. Some people do change after marriage so sometimes a divorce is the best option (your partner ends up liking the opposite sex, they end up abuse, etc). Some people just don't see the signs and shouldn't be judged on that. We're animals so marriage also isn't natural but I'll leave it at that. ~
