This is For the Real Men and Women. In the Marine Corps, Pain is Weakness leaving the body, but in a relationship, Pain is Love leaving the Heart and the Union.
A mistake is something that was done wrong, and can not be changed no matter how hard we try, but through patience and understanding, caring, and love it can be forgiven. To my married folk heres a lesson, and to my engaged folk, heres a message. If your married and God fearing as you say, why are you running from your marriage and seeking a divorce? If you say God put you two together, then it should be God who tears you apart (Death do us Part) If your engaged, stop running from every little argument or fight. If a fight did ensue, what part did you play in it? If he or she has come to you and said babe, or sweety lets work it out, and all you can say is no I don't want this anymore, and he or she has begged you, you can't get mad when another man or woman wants what you have. How many times are you going to reject your love one? Will you push them to the point they tell you they hate you, when you know thats not in their character? How many more games are you willing to play with people's mind and hearts? And lastly, do you really really really know, there's a (Thin Line Between Love & Hate). If you got a good man or woman, hold onto them, everyday isn't going to be sunshine, but its up to you to make those raining clouds and thunderstorms disappear. Amen.

My View: This should be a part of pre-martial counseling. Every couple seeking to get married must memorize this marriage credo. If every couple committed this to memory, divorce would be non-existent because before hasty decisions are made, each person takes time to clear their head, and then work out their issues. It's funny how people say they're God-fearing, and when they get married knowing there will be good & bad times, the first thing they say is "I Want a divorce". Obviously, they must be not God-fearing because if they were, they would pray together and seek God's direction for the rocky times in their marriage. God gives two reasons for divorce: Infidelity, and abuse (although not explicitly mentioned in the Bible). As difficult as it is for me to say this, infidelity can be forgiven. The offender must repent of the transgression, and work to regain their spouse's trust. I believe that if you don't have trust, you have nothing. Infidelity warrants automatic termination for many people, and that's fine. If you're faithful to your (wo)man, and (s)he cheats, the hurt person is within their right to kick you to the curb. In that instance, you have no one to blame but yourself. If you're bold enough to creep, you're bold enough to accept the consequences. I truly believe that some people are not cut out for marriage, let alone a relationship, because if you're going to run from every little fight, what does that say to your (wo)man? That tells them you aren't committed to making a relationship work. Therefore, they can't count on you to get in the ring and fight with them for your marriage.
