Though there are of course cases in which divorce is the only answer, today the majority of divorces are done carelessly, thoughtlessly, and for no reason other than boredom.
Divorce has many negative consequences that many people overlook, such as how deeply the children involved will be affected, the legal and economic costs, as well as the emotional toll it will take on everyone involved, particularly the couple themselves.
Children complicate divorce in so many ways. Custody comes into questions along with where they will attend school, what activities they can participate in, and the values they will be taught.
Again, there are cases in which divorce is necessary but in those cases in which a marriage can be saved, it should be saved.
Presiden Gordon B. Hinckley taught: "Somehow forgiveness, with love and tolerance, accomplishes miracles that can happen in no other way.
This video is a fantastic representation of the importance of keeping marriages strong.
"A marriage, like a human life, is a precious, living thing. Spouses should exercise faith in Christ and love for each other to heal and strengthen their marriage relationship."
