shouldn't have to. No one should ever have to change who they are just to have your love and affection. If you can not accept someone for who and what they are now then you do not need them and they do not need you at all. Marriage alone wont keep two people bound and sound, it takes the two people to do this. Just cause you are married doesn't mean you stop trying new things, or stop dating or hanging out together. If you stop all of this you put a stop to who you are together and a distance between you that will lead to divorce. You have to work as a TEAM to keep things alive, not get married and expect marriage to do it all for you, marriage is just a word, a term, it is what you do together and are together that give the word marriage its life.

5. Trust: Let's face it, if you feel in your heart that you can't trust your spouse then there is no, absolutely no reason to be with them. A marriage is all about trust, and if you are doubting your spouse then you live by that doubt. Your every thought can not be he/she is doing this with so and so or here when they say they are there. You have to believe in your spouse no matter what until proven other wise, not felt other wise but PROVEN other wise.

Marriage is not an easy road to travel. It is full of bumps and obstacles, but that my friend is the beauty of marriage, to have that significant other to smooth out the bumps and hurdle over the obstacles with. When you come together as a unit to work through everything, to better understand each other and believe in each other nothing is impossible for you. The only limitation your marriage has is the one you both place on it. Divorce doesn't have to be, but there are times when it is necessary. Give it all you got till you know there is nothing left and then move on, chances are you may both be happier without the other and finding someone who is more what you need and are content with. Happiness is not what you expect it to be in a marriage, it is what you make it to be and believe it to be. But then so is unhappiness.
