Married people are going through a lot, this is not because marriage is bad in itself, but rather because those who contract it are two different persons, who have been formed and nurtured differently; at times it takes effort to live together and tolerate each other. But marriage from its very institution makes those who enter into it couples and so, they should learn to tolerate each other in order to live in harmony with each other. No one is problem free, we too have our shortcomings that others have to overlook and live with. We just have to try. Getting married and staying married are two different things; but staying married is what married people should aspire. We cannot remove tolerance as an essential tool to staying married, when we do, marriages suffer and go sour. Tolerance is not the only essential tool for staying married, yet we all need it to stay married.
