The sad truth about marriage is that many of them – about 50% at this point — won’t last until death do you part. Whether amicable or filled with crushing pain, a divorce may very well come your way. Marriage takes work every single day. It’s a series of compromises, apologies, and appreciation that some people just can’t handle.

“Once my husband made me call my mom and ask her how to be a better wife, and I had to say everything was my fault. He threatened to divorce me and take my baby away if I didn’t. It was humiliating.”
