The Cellar - View Single Post - Divorce: It's not whether you fight, but how you fight

This is probably crazy talk, but with all the things they try to teach in school: singles living, family living, finances, cooking...etc, how about planning an exit strategy before you get married? I'm not being facetious: no one believes that their true love won't last forever, but if faced with "IF it does end, what WILL YOU DO" it takes some of that unrealistic fantasy crap out of it. No one wants to deal with that negative thinking, but that negative is too often the reality.

We all know about 1 in 2 marriages: none of us think it will be us (unless you're a serial monogamist who's been married 6 times, like one of my friends..which boggles my mind.)

(I think I just came up with my book and subsequent book tour.)
