Spouses Should Do All They Can to Preserve Their Marriage
Mormon Doctrine / Teachings
?Latter-day Saint spouses should do all within their power to preserve their marriages. . . . To avoid so-called ?incompatibility,? they should be best friends, kind and considerate, sensitive to each other?s needs, always seeking to make each other happy. They should be partners in family finances, working together to regulate their desires for temporal things.?
Dallin H. Oaks, ?Divorce,? Ensign, May 2007, 72

I couldn't agree more. The less selfish you are in your marriage the easier you'll get along in about most everything. When you put yourself first that's when it get's real difficult. My wife and I have this worked out and it makes our marriage work without any unnecessary hassels because we understand each other.
I agree mostly with Elder Oaks comments, especially that we should be best friends, working together, and supporting each other. I believe marriages end in divorce because both party's were selfish, some need was being ignored. I don't feel marriages in most cases, are just one parties fault. You should try to work your problems out, however, if covenants are broken, I believe divorce is a viable option.

We read that the children of Israel were nagging Moses for divorces to take place, this is not how god intended it I think this is still not what he wants. I think only in the extreme cases should divorce be even considered.
