People had more belief in marriage than they did in their mates. They would hang on to a marriage because there was more dignity in that than in being divorced. We must try to understand the nature of marriage. There is nothing wrong with something God created. It is the people what must adjust.

Her parents' marriage wasn't happy.

The beauty of marriage is that it was created to surround the couple while they grow and mature.
