I was reading a blog the other day where I found a post that caught my eye, here is part of what I read:

"About two years ago I had the unfortunate situation where I filed for divorce with my wife of 10 years. The reason for our divorce is somewhat complicated but I guess the primary reason was that overtime we just grew apart and eventually stopped loving each other. I'm not sure whether it was my dedication to work or her lack of a social life that led to her boredom, whatever the reasons were, like most divorces it got messy."

Divorce stinks. But let me tell you, as a marriage and family expert, nothing gets me more sad or worked up than when I hear a married couple say, "We've fallen out of love" or "We grew apart".

Very few divorces occur today because they need to (abuse, serial infidelity…). Divorces occur because two people don't know how to get along with each other. Here's the reality of this kind of divorce, you will divorce again unless you learn the skills necessary to get along.

Why not learn that together instead of finding it out after a divorce?

Great marriage just don't happen, they are the result of two people dedicated to a lifetime of learning about each other, how to love better, and being totally and undeniably committed to their marriage.
