Both my husband and I dealt with our parents' divorces and have chosen to learn from their mistakes on how to make our marriage stronger. We focused more on our marriage then the wedding, and from the beginning we have both seen our marriage as more then a commitment. It is a covenant under God that can't be broken. I think so long as both parties agree to that and don't waver it is easier to weather the storms of life together and remember admist all the craziness you have to deal with in life you still have that one person in your corner.
