Over 50% of marriages in the United States end in painful divorce. Most young married couples start out deeply in love. Eventually, after years of emotional ups and downs, financial worries, in-law disputes, changing physical appearances, love turns to anger, despair, sorrow, and separation. Hearts of innocent children are broken and scarred as their only source of stability in an unstable world collapses.
What about the people who don't divorce? Many of them merely tolerate each other, living lives of quiet desperation and apathy.

This vision is held together by love and shared by communication by both spouses.
