Sometimes I don't understand people.
Marriage is supposed to be sacred. It's supposed to be a vow between people to love each other and to work hard at continuing to love each other through thick and thin. That means dealing with issues when they come up, talking, compromising, and working it out. You don't get married just to say "fuck it" when you decide you can't handle it after one fucking year. Marriage isn't some little trinket you just throw away when it's damaged. It's not something you just go out and replace when it cracks. You find the fucking crazy-glue and you paste that sucker back together. Yes it requires WORK. It's not just going to go right back to happiness and bunnies and kittens and candy all the fucking time. If you try to force the pieces back together, they tend to break even more. However, if you take some time, are gentle, and work carefully, the pieces CAN be fixed. You just have to TRY.
I know the people this is directed at are never going to read this... but seriously... if they aren't even going to attempt to make things better... then what was the point of getting married in the first place? Isn't that what "for better or for worse" means? Seriously. Grow the fuck up.
