When talking about divorce in this class, Brother Williams once spoke of how many divorces these days happen because they say “their relationship wasn’t fun anymore.” I think that is such a selfish reason for divorce. Marriage is not always going to be fun, especially after the infatuation fades. However, people also can’t just break the promises and covenants that they made just because they aren’t enjoying it anymore. I think that means that they just aren’t working hard enough on it anymore. Marriage is hard and takes a lot of work, you just need to make sure that you are always working on it. When dating, a lot of it is filled with infatuation and fun because so much is new and exciting and even when you know you're going to get married, it is still fun because you have the excitement of the wedding and transitioning into marriage with the person you love. However, people that get let down in marriage because of these reasons need to realize that it's about raising a righteous family and constantly working to show your spouse that you love them, they are important, and that you are sticking with your commitment to them and the Lord that you would make the best of this love and marriage. When people can realize that, I think they will have more successful marriages, families, and cultures.
