I’d say, people take the commitment to the relationship too lightly, the certificate means nowt if a couple are not prepared to work at it. Ergo, the act of marriage is ceremony and the break up is made slightly more difficult. The hard work is keeping the relationship going on both sides.
I think it makes a huge difference being married vs just living together , our first year of marriage was like a war zone at times and it would have been a lot easier to walk away had we not been married and made that commitment in front of our families and friends. It took a lot of work and compromise and 6 years later we are really happy
Surely someone who has experienced both good and bad relationships is perfectly qualified to offer relationship advice?
Of course they are
