This is pretty much perfectly put. I think a lot of people get married because they think that's what they're
supposed to do and then once they're married, they see how hard it is and jump the ship. For marriage to work, you have to be selfless and commit yourself to the other person. If the couple doesn't put in the hard work to make it last, it just won't. Plain and simple. Marriage is hard...but anything that's worth something takes hard work. Marriage is definitely worth it. (At least for me
marriage isn't for everybody.)
Even if down the road, my husband and I (God forbid) go seperate ways, I will know that we had an amazing run and loved each other very much. I would never disrespect him because he has been the one person there for me through
everything.
