Marriage is precious and so it is both of you responsible to ensure that none of you do anything to jeopardize the relationship. It can just take one mistake that should have been avoided to destroy a beautiful thing. When #God created the institution of marriage he intended for husbands and wives to love each other and work to build a long lasting and loving union. Marriage is a team effort. Both of you MUST decide that you want it to work, and then work towards it. God never intended for marriages to end in divorce as he said in his word “Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”- Mark 10:9 (NIV)
