People probably warned you that marriage is tough, but you thought that yours would be different, that it wouldn't be so challenging. Although marriage can be an amazing part of life, it's not always an easy one. Apparently, marriage is the number one cause of divorce. Does that even make sense?

Whether you've been married for 30 days or 30 years, even the best marriages can reach the point of no return. The divorce rate in Canada is about 40% and in the United States close to 50%. This might be a little scary to anyone considering making a lifetime commitment to one partner.

Maybe you think that we learn from our mistakes. That divorce teaches you how to make better choices and all you need is a second chance at love. Well, think again.
