Lovers get married every day

Lovers get married every day. Couples get divorced every day as well. Out of all the many things men and women do in their lives, developing and maintaining a healthy marriage is about the most difficult

Tthe divorce rate has declined in the last few years or at least remained stable. One of the main reasons for this however is couples have spurned traditional marriage and elected to live together.

Living together, whether married or not, can be one of the best or worst things youve ever done.
