Yes sometimes life sucks!
I have a friend whose marriage is in tatters. Do she hold on for the sake of the kids or just let go? "Why not go for counseling" I suggested. "He is not willing?" was the reply.
I don't think any of the 2 are in Christ. When Christ is not in the picture, there is no central thing that binds them together. When one does not submit to Godly counsel then there is also no hope.
God made marriage to last. Yes people drift apart, but they have to work at it to stay together as marriage is only an extension of courtship as they say. Without God in the family, there is nothing common to develop when interests changes, peers changes and career takes a different turn.
Studies in the US show that the divorce rate of practicing Christians are one couple in 2,500 while that of non-believers is approaching 50%.
