Great comments! Marriage does seem to take our stress, unfortunately. As you point out, what happens to one happens to both. In fact, to push that a little further, the biggest psychological piece of a marriage is becoming a unit, supporting each other but stronger together than apart.
Indeed, the most important part of your message: it takes more energy to get divorced than to stay married.
If people work on a marriage, once they get it going, it tends to become easier. Divorce, on the other hand, tends to be a huge amount of energy that only grows. Once it peaks, there are remnants for years, for life if a child is involved.
Thanks for the reminders of not letting outside influences ruin the relationship!

Too many people let those outside influences affect the marriage because we are suppose to depend on each other for strength. What I think people don't realize is that instead of letting it pull you apart, they should use it to pull together.
