Why us?

I don't consider Matt and I to be the most profoundly amazing couple. We don't spend every moment in complete bliss, we haven't cured cancer together, or ... I don't know. I don't consider us to be a bad couple by any stretch of the imagination, we don't argue often and when we do it never lasts. But when I've heard about two young couples in the past couple weeks who've decided to call it quits, it makes me wonder - why us?

I would think, when you marry someone, don't you realize that it's until death do you part? Don't you seriously contemplate that thought before you take the vows? Unless we're talking physical abuse or adultery, why would you even think to leave your spouse? How can you marry someone, and then just decide for some intangible reason that marriage isn't "right" for you?

I guess I just don't get how you can just want to quit being married to someone. I understand being angry, disappointed, even being disgusted with the person you married, but that's why you take them for better or for worse - not for better OR for worse.

Nothing tangible on the subject. It just baffles me and makes me sad to see couples split up for really mild reasons. What makes Matt and I different ... I don't know. But whatever. The nyquil is kicking in and that means sleepytime for Sarie.
