Statistics are showing that just over fifty percent of marriages today are going to end in divorce. In fact, most of these marriages end in divorce after only a few years because they can't find a way to save a hopeless marriage. There are also many people who have been married for 20, 30, and even 40 years that end up in divorce because of several different reasons.
