Do you believe in marriage, like can you really be with someone for your entire life?
My mom is going through her second divorce, her first marriage was after twenty years, my dad left her and got his gf preg before divorce was even final, she's turns 50 this year, she said it will cost about $3k-5k for filing...
@kelleycrew7362, yes I think faith together is a huge influence but if one or both don't have faith it can be a rough and problematic journey. A lot of my family have had unsuccessful relationships ending in divorce and separation or they're just together for the kids.
I don't believe marriage is the right choice for most people. There's a lot of temptation nowadays with the ease of technology it makes it easier to cheat, if times are hard people look for an escape, whether it's thru another person online or in person, people are quick to checkout the other side of the fence than trying to fix things. If you don't have communication and willingness to compromise there's not a lot of hope there...
@sawyersmom, why is that? I used to as well but now I don't believe in marriage
I do! While I may have not always had the best examples but I think if you find that right person and are willing to work really work it will. I also believe you have to find the right one if it's meant to be it will. God will get you guys through it. Pre marriage counseling, books and everything in between should be explore before marriage. Put everything out there and don't rush! Just because you have a kid(s) with someone doesn't mean you have to get married. People rush marriage and don't understand fully how hard and what their getting into.
What do you think @elysiansmama, can you be married forever? Does that one exist ?
My step mom left one day & never came back. We had no idea where she was or if she was even okay. This happened last September. They were barely even married for a year. I just checked her Facebook a few days ago. She began another relationship late June. Today, I find out they're engaged now. She's still married to my dad.
Not even a full year, and she's already planning another wedding. My dad is supposed to come by soon to hang out with me, and see his grand baby. I'm sure I'll be getting the scoop about her soon.
I already told him in December, I don't want her ass to come back. Everybody already knows I have some choice words for her if we ever cross paths again.
It scares me because no one in my family has ever stuck with the people they have kids with, but I'll be marrying my boyfriend before I give birth. We were supposed to be married last December, but we couldn't get the marriage certificate in time for the date I wanted, but now we gotta do it before that date anyways lol
Every marriage I have ever seen in my life has ended in divorce
