I don't think it's bad to get divorced. I think it's more unhealthy to have miserable lives. We weren't put here to live miserably, we were put here to grow and learn and be happy.

If you're no longer growing together, you have to part ways and go on. I think that 'death do us part' is an archaic aspect of marriage. It's not really applicable. I think about my grandparents who were married for 60-odd years, but they hated each other. That was the custom then, and I don't really think that's the healthiest approach.

I would want to live together first. I didn't live with my first husband and I think if I had lived with him for just one month before marrying him, I wouldn't have. I would also say do premarital counseling.
