Ask a woman whether it is easier to have a baby or not to have a baby. I know of women who struggle with the inability to conceive, and to them, it is far more difficult not to have children. Oh, but aren’t these women blessed? They don’t need to experience the nine months of pregnancy, the pain of delivery, and the heavy burden of raising children.
People who overcame rocky marriages succeeded, because they saw something valuable in marriage. They saw something beautiful from God, something worthy of their efforts.
A man saw a pearl of great price. He saw the value in it, and he sold all he had so that he could buy it. Because he saw the value, he let go of everything else to gain that pearl; it was the only possible response. Our actions reflect our perception of value.
In the short run, divorce looks easier, but in the long run, reconciliation is much easier. Really though, the two are not worthy to be compared.
