My parents are divorced, and I have made it a point to be around people in good marriages to be able to observe first hand what can make a marriage work.

I have often found that girls from families where the parents are still married, can often not appreciate the hard work it takes to get to that point. Assuming their first memories of their parents are when they were around 3 years old, their parents were likely married for four years before they remember anything.

In my situation, I saw the flaws in my parents marriage from a young age. I have always had to reconcile how two people who I love and care about so much can make each other miserable. As a result, I recognize that divorce is a real possibility that can happen to anyone, and I have worked hard on myself and done a lot of introspection to make sure I don’t make the same mistakes they made.

Lior, why are you such a hater?
