Can anything be done to help people from splitting up?

Splitting up and divorce is so easy today. Today we are together; tomorrow we aren't. About as simple as that. Could we force people into counseling before they split. People had something attracting in the beginning. How do they get it back?

Please star this question..Thanks>

    A relationship can almost always be saved, but most arent willing to do what is required to do so. Many are happy to save a marriage up until the point that they have to change, correct themselves, take a different view or admit they are wrong in the way they are and stop being selfish. These are the things that most arent willing to do.

    Not much that we can do, for the country has become far too liberal and people have almost no morals anymore. We dont frown upon, look down upon or give immoral or wrong doing people much of anything to fear anymore. So, it is natural that we would get more breakups, more crime, more adultery, etc.

    Crap, half the people on this site and in general cant even admit that adultery is immoral and wrong or that God said marriage is lifelong unless you are cheated upon by your mate, thats it. If you cant get grown people to see and admit such simple things, how would you suggest we make them do anything else?

    Yes isn't it sad how many people just give up. I think that people are thinking that it will be easy. But a good marriage is very hard work. I have to change and make adjustments in my life all the time. My husband does also. But unlike many. We took the time to get to know each other. We new what it was that we wanted out of life. We were well aware of what we were getting into. I love that my husband knows what im bad at. And the areas that I am weak at. He picks up the slack where I need it the most. I hope he can say the same for me.

    I do think that it would be nice for people to have to take some type of class or something before getting married.

    ok I could go on and on. But ill spare you.. lol have a good day.

    That's a hard one to do. I think it should be counseling if there is children involved. And I believe that attraction people had at the beginning is still there. The love is still there. Something happens along the way. We forget just who we are and forget the person who we married and why we married that person. Everything in life, the bills, the household chores, buying food, the kids we get so involved in that everyday rut, we forget about each other and the temptation that a man or women faces gets sometimes out of control and we think we don't love that person know more that a new person comes along and it's all so refreshing until things with the new person comes routine, and we realize that we really do love our wife's/husband but sometimes it's to late to go back.I believe the speaks can happen again. I know because it did happen for me and my husband when we got back together. He had affair, it's really a long story, but after 2months of trying again, he told me he felt like when he first meet me and we became really good friends and we started to do things together again and I can see it in his eyes that he loved me, and our love never left and just went to sleep for awhile. And I think that's want happens. The love and the attraction gos to sleep and it could be waken by the power of God.

    What country are you from? Force!! bad enough we are forced to spend all are extra cash on gas now you wont us to spend it on counseling . The biggest problem that i can see is money . You have to leave the family 10 to 12 hours a day no time for them the wife has got to work no time for house keeping or the kids your out meeting all kinds of people all day long tempting you and your lonely because you haven't seen the wife or husband when you do there to tire from work because the kids are in need of new things . Anyway It all has to do with money . We need more time for each other not counseling

    Best bet would be to design some kind of questionaire that if they pass they get to be together.If they failthey dont as they probably wouldnt last long together anyway but saves money and time. Probably would put some expensive attorneys out of work but then who cares. So, we must design a system to prevent the disaster from even beginning instead of after the fact. And hook up allparties to alie detector to make sure they answer honestly.

    No one can be forced to do anything it usually only makes people rebel more.

    I think if there's any love left and the damage isn't so far gone people seek counseling first.

    Divorce is a painful decision and I think most people don't just jump right to that especially if they have children.

    No, based on my experience. Sometimes you just have to let it go. It takes two to hold it together, if one of the two isn't willing to put in the necessary time it needs to build the marriage back to where it was in the beginning. Then it's not taking the easy route to divorce anymore. That's what it has come to.

    You can't force people into counseling. It would be nice if you could, because it really does work.

    love wont last, unless the 2 pipol involved wants it to last..marriange is not just a commitment, it is a commitment to make ur marriage work...love may fade thru time but it can be rekindled again if both parties are willing enough not to forget why they got married in the first place...
