Why Do Devout Christians Have Such A Difficult Time Upholding Their Marriage Vows?Could it be that God was testing them by placing a Maria in their path? Why can't they overcome temptation?

And when should one break that vow for better or worse in sickness and health till death do us part? (See my question on my Marriage if you'd like.) Just because one spouse does wrong repeatedly, and all options the spouses can think of have been exhausted (like counseling, trying to make things right with the offender who doesn't care and keeps criticizing or fighting), does that mean it's morally or ethically right then for someone to break her side of the Marriage agreement/contract?

How Does Divorce Affect The Sincerity Of Marriage Vows?Recently I asked how same sex marriages destroyed the institution of Marriage and 1 answer pointed out that divorce is more damaging to the validity of Marriage than same sex marriage.
