It's the days where it feels like work when people decide to stop trying and blame "feelings." "I simply fell out of love" is a BS line. You CHOOSE to stop loving someone. A successful marriage is built out of " I CHOOSE to love my spouse when they're at their worst; when it's the hardest; and when I least feel like it." Like it or not, marriage requires work and effort...period. Anyone that claims otherwise will likely become part of the 40% statistic.

Interesting point. I would also argue then that some people are not properly equipped to be married...ever.
