i dont think anyone should go into a marriage thinking of divorce. thats first.
second, think about those kids u wanna hav – do u think its a good life for them to hav parents who are divorced? think about their future!
third, the whole mind set that divorce is o.k. and perfectly normal is a pretty new one (in the last hundred years or so) and one that is not condonded by the Torah community.
fourth, if u want your marriage to work u must learn to give and to give up. my father always says if couples would only do that there would be no reason for divorce. u cant be selfish in a marriage,constantly thinking “whats in it for me.”
and going into a marriage just for the sake of being married and wearing a tallit, sounds pretty selfish – especially if u r thinking about divorcing your wife in a few years anyway.
we r supposed to get married in order to build a FAMILY and a Bayit Neeman BeYisrael.
(btw i used the “you” term not meaning “you” personally, but anybody)
