Rewarding giving up.

When we all go to a friend or family members wedding, we all hopefully hope for the best for them. We want them to have a long marriage and to long each other forever. Unfortunately today's couples seem to think its ok to end a marriage without even trying. When I go to a wedding and give the happy couple a gift, it is for them both and it is for the long and happy marriage. I feel a little cheated when that couple gets divorced a few months later.

This is what I'm doing from now on when I go to a wedding. I will give the happy couple some sort of check or bond that they can cash only upon their 3rd anniversary or later. That will show they at least gave it an actual go. If they don't make it there then they didn't actually earn it.

Just a thought because I'm sick of people giving up.

I don't really care if you get offended by this, because you shouldn't. There are so few reasons why to actually get divorced such as any sort of abuse and adultery.
