Planning in case of divorce?

Call me crazy, I've seen it a lot lately though. Why are ladies planning a wedding and be planning in case of divorce at the same time? Doesn't that seem to be at ends with getting married?

Call me crazy, I've seen it a lot lately though. Why are ladies planning a wedding and be planning in case of divorce at the same time? Doesn't that seem to be at ends with getting married? I get that there is a high divorce rate (although dropping due to the # of couples waiting until their 30s to get married). I get hoping for the best and planning for the worst. I just truly feel that if someone feels divorce is a possibility that they shouldn't get married. Am I alone in this?

    Yea it is her, I would link her post but I think that's against TOS? Regardless, I'm still curious after a broken engagement how you could feel this way still @OP?

    Emily, it is a really sad situation when something like that happens. But in my eyes, the chance to spend my life with this man and create a family together is worth that risk. I'm committing to never be with anyone else as long as we're both alive. And it's a big leap of faith, but we also believe that Good gives social have to married folks to deal with the temptations and even betrayals that can come... so it's in a very different context than most of the culture's view.

    First of all, getting married "later" in life does not mean you are less likely to get a divorce.

    i am confused where the intentions of this post came from myself...

    Marriage is for life, you don't just "Want" to make it work, you make it work (at least that's where I came from).

    Edit: After reading "most" of the comments. You don't "pray and hope" that you stay together, you just make a decision when you say your vows that you will love and cherish your spouse forever and talk through any problems that may arise to avoid divorce at ALL costs. Of course there are EXTREME cases where it can happen, but I think people today do "throw away" things all too easily.

    I think everyone wants there married to work, but part of that is having the big discussions before you get married. And the possibility of divorce is one of then.

    I don't plan to get divorced, but it may happen. I will not put up with someone beating me/abusing me or cheating on me. Hell no. I'm not a victim.

    I also don't plan on dying, but I have a will and life insurance.
