The most beautiful expression of love which we all seek is in the Bible.  1 Corinthians 13:4-8:  Here, the Bible elegantly defines love in this way: "Love is patient and kind.  Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.  Love does not demand its own way.  Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged.  It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.  Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.  Love will last forever." 
When in a relationship, there are always ups and downs, tragedies, even addictions.  But if we remind ourselves this expression of love, I think it can prevent a lot of misfortunes and time lost spent on disagreements. 

That's so true, if we fight and argue about minor things, we're only wasting precious time that we can't get back.  Love really is such a powerful feeling, if brings two people together and is the glue that holds a family together. 

I'm just curious, but with that scripture, if love never fails then why do people get divorced? Did they really not love each other or..? I just don't know..Did they just let the devil destroy their relationship?

When you're in a marriage, people only get divorced when they make it an option.  Most of the time when people finally call it a quits, it's because of expectations not being met.  I was always taught that in a marriage, everything is the man's fault.  If the family is late, it's the man's fault because he didn't take charge and get everyone out the door, if the bills aren't paid because his wife isn't going to work, it's the man's fault because it's his house and he should take responsibility for everything that goes on. 
Marriage has become a joke to some people.  We hear of open marriages and abusive relationships, but just because it's more common, it doesn't mean it's okay and what was wrong 50 years ago still isn't right today.  When you get married, you're choosing that person to share your life with and eventually to grow old and die with.  People should think of their spouse as their best friend, you wouldn't want to let your best friend down, and you want the absolute best for them because you love and care about them that much.  When you do decided to get married, you're priorities are supposed to change, and for some people they never really transition. 

It seems like people just stop caring or they let themselves become this unpleasant version of themselves.  If you loved someone so much at one point that you wanted to spent the rest of your life with them, then can't that feeling be reconnected?  In a lot of marriages, one person lets themselves go.. that's not fair.

Addiction is a good way to end a marriage also.  When you marry someone, you owe it to yourself and your spouse to stay healthy and happy.  It's selfish to just let yourself go.

I think the thing about love never failing is it applies to Christians. Non-Christians remain married sometimes as well, but remember the Bible is speaking to Christians and what they should follow. Marriage is a hard thing and it really takes 3 people to make it work: God must be first, then the couple. I think if you put Jesus first in every situation things would turn out so much better. It's hard though to not have control over your life, but who better to have control over it than the one person who loves you the most?

Christians get divorced just as much as any other religion, not less. When a marriage fails its the couples fault not because of love. They give up on their selves.

I think if more Christians did things the right way from the beginning and led by example from God, there would be a lot less failed marriages. Marriage should be founded on religion, and one should be able to share their spiritual practices and beliefs with their partner.  A lot of times, couples marry and then later on start attending church.  But it's important to be completely grounded in your faith before making a decision to share the rest of your life with someone. And make sure you really know the person you're marrying too.

I don't think it's that they get divorced less, but the Bible was written for believers in Jesus Christ. Who else would read and follow it? The Bible points out in many verses how God hates divorce, but I know plenty of Christian marriages that have failed. I think most of the time marriages fail if not 100% of the time is because of sin. It comes into the marriage and destroys it.
