Broken marriages don't always lead to divorce. Sticking to a marriage is important and divorce is bad.

Researchers find that the married have lower death rates, even after taking initial health status into account. Even sick people who marry live longer than their counterparts who don't.Marriage is also better for your health because married people take more responsibility for one another even than those who cohabit. They nag each other more, remind their partners of appointments and take care of each other when sick. Marriage also generally reduces stress and boosts the immune system.

marriage is a public statement of exclusive dedication.

marriage is not just a piece of paper. it is a promise to live together faithfully, till death, through thick and thin, sickness and health, and it is the benefit to the children who are raised in it. marriage is a blessing from God.
