Marriage

Lord, my heart is just so heavy right now. Where are you in this? I so badly want to be married, and yet, I am so afraid of failing at it and things ending in divorce. How do two people trying to follow You decide that divorce is the best option? How have we failed as the church to love them, encourage them, and support them? Everyone says that marriage is hard. How can things begin so well and end so badly? What happens along the way? How do you choose to love someone "til death do us part" and deeply trust them with all of you not knowing what the future holds? Money and communication seem to be common issues. It seems like most couples either stay unhappily married or choose divorce. How can Your design of marriage be restored? I feel discouraged and disheartened, though I still believe marriage is worth pursuing, and I desire to share life with someone. Lord, let Your Kingdom come and rule here.
