Too many people feel that the grass is greener on the other side, rather than work through any problems that are bound to surface in any relationship they just throw in the towel.
Working through issues makes a relationship stronger.

Heard that! My parents divorced when I was only 1. I dated my wife for 6 long years before I asked her to marry me. I wanted to make damn sure she was the one, and that no matter what!!! we would always! figure out a way to work it out. I didn't want my kids (not that I had a terrible upbringing or anything like that) to be raised in a split household like I was. Congrats to you & @farm-mom for making it work!, and showing that it can be done :)
