I've never been one who believed in calling it quits on a marriage. Marriage is a sacred bond by God. An institution designed to last until death. However over the years I've drastically changed my mind about this topic. Perhaps because I experienced marriage myself, and even though I didn't go in with the intention to ever come out of my marriage, it happened. It was a tumultuous experience for me, so I can now empathize with the pain and hurt one experiences when deciding to leave a marriage.

I believe one of the main reasons marriage doesn't hold a strong enough bond these days is because we've adapted to a more modern marriage agenda, rather than the traditional marriage that holds within it a deeper understanding of love, morals, respect, honor, compromise, perseverance, commitment, trust and honor. Without these components there will be trouble in paradise.

Although traditional marriage isn't at a perfect stance today, it has been the building block for society. The guide for American families. However, since there has been a transition or alteration of this old adage, Modern Marriage has become ubiquitous, resulting in dissolved marriages and broken families. Modern marriage is more of an open marriage - swingers, same sex marriages, a revolving door with easy access in, and an even easier access out of a marriage. Immorally corrupt to say the least.

When we accept this type of corruption into our marriages, and give up the fight to protect our marriage and families we tear down the marriage institution that God upholds. However, even within a normal marriage, there comes a time, with even the best of intentions, that you may have to call your marriage quits. It's a hard call to make, but to make the transition easier, I will share four real issues, that warrant calling it quits on a marriage but not altogether necessary.

Abuse
Rather physical or emotional, abuse leaves scars that are embedded deep into one's soul long after the physical scars are gone. It leads to low self esteem, feeling unloved and uncared for resulting in depression. For someone to love you, yet hurt you simultaneously is tumultuously difficult. Love is blind, in fact, so blind that some of us risk our life as well as our children's security, just to be with someone we love.

Non-Communication
Has your relationship lost communication? Communication is the life of a marriage or any relationship. If there's not a healthy way to express your thoughts, emotions and desires to one
