I just celebrated my 9th wedding anniversary a few days ago, except for the last two years, there was no presents, no dinners, no fun, and no wife. She left me after 6.6 years of love to abandon me to the rocks and shoals of death after divorce, but she is still in "happily ever after." I know that my wedding day was the happiest day on my life, and everyday after that was a blessing too, but now that she is gone, I feel like it's a funeral.
I've tried to make a life for myself, tried to "have fun," make friends, and even meet other women, but then I wonder if the second time will be worse than the first? If the best thing in my life could end so quickly and easily after so long, what's to stop it from happening again on a whim from her? Nothing. And what could I do to stop a divorce? Nothing!
When you enter into a contract/covenant, generally you do so because you want some kind of certainty that it's binding and meaningful, but in these terrible times of lies and broken promises, a wedding license is about a meaningless as a job agreement: subject to termination at any time.
