Basically what Paul said, if you can stay single it's best to. Most divorces are probably the product of people who should have stayed single.
That may be true in some cases, but I think others just marry the wrong kind for them. They give up hope and settle for so-so matches, don't know themselves well enough before committing, or the person they married misleads them.
The following should go without saying, but I've seen evidence to the contrary: Spendthrifts shouldn't marry misers, homosexuals shouldn't marry heterosexuals, and those who don't want to be monogamous shouldn't marry those who do... the list goes on. I think most of the behavior that leads to divorce could be avoided if people stuck with those who are on a similar wavelength. A spouse isn't an accessory, they aren't a car or a fancy handbag, and they shouldn't be used as a sign to others that one is morally or spiritually virtuous. A spouse is a human being. A potentially lifelong partner with whom to share the joys and the struggles of this whacky journey that is life. The way I see it, we should either marry well or not marry at all.
