I'm not being harsh toward those who've had a marriage break up.. please don't think that for one minute! Every circumstance is different.
I just know some folks very personally in the Apostolic church world who've gotten sucked into the "there's no hope of it ever changing so let's call it quits" mentality. Family members included.
Often one party is more willing to work thru than another, which makes it hard.

I have known some to suffer abuse for years over the "its going to change mentality" as well.I don't think anyone is rejoicing to just call it quits.
