First in some ways you are really talking out of both sides of your mouth, you know.
Well, I know most churches require weeks of counseling to warn of how much work it takes, and want assurances they are not going in blind and will be willing to work hard through those tough spots, before they agree to marry them.
Now, you are right, there probably are millions that won't do the work or think it will be easypeasy simply because they've grown up in or work in an atmosphere, or industry, where it is just easier to marry and divorce and remarry than work at it, and faith is usually pretty nonexistent within their lives.
Then you have the crowd that is simply in love with being in love, and that blinds them to warning signs.
Many that believe lust is actually love.
Then you have individuals that grew up missing something within their own lives and use the thought of 'love' to try to feel that void, and usually are unsuccessful.

Ignoring education? Seriously?
And I've never known of a Christian that didn't claim marriage is hard work. Don't know where you are getting such outrageous notions from.
Govt policy usually has an agenda. Thus why our govt is out of control.
There are circumstances where no matter how hard one works at it, it doesn't change. My church did not believe in divorce. I never wanted divorce to enter my life. After counseling us for months, they admitted there are exceptions for the well being of some of the parties. I came from parents that stayed together for life, through thick and then, filled with love and no violence existed.
I was stupid the first time and nothing would change, no matter how hard I worked. But I wouldn't trade it for the world, as 2 fabulous kids were born from it. Did I live with that failure? Yes, but safety was more important.
Does that make me a bad person? No. Does it make Trump a bad person? No.
We will never know what goes on behind closed doors to bring others to such a choice. Nor are we to judge.
And we are all sinners. A real Christian knows that.
I do believe our own govt helped break up the family unit in many ways, through policies.
Divorce is bad, and the US is setting up the conditions for lots of divorces.
I knew a girl who was 21 that summer from Nebraska, and we were in a car and we spoke about Brad Pitt and Jennifer Annison getting married. I said it doesn't matter when they get married, it's when they get divorced that matters. The girl ripped the living shit out of me. In her view you got married and you WERE happy for the rest of your life. This is just how it was.
A bad attitude, it implies you don't need to work at marriage, that it's not difficult sometimes, and then when people find it difficult with such an attitude they think it's wrong, so then go get a divorce. Kids should be educated to know what to expect, to know that it's not all easy, to know that picking the right person is essential, and to know what the right person might be for a person. But it's not done and even worse the govt portrays this view of what marriage should be, in their eyes, and when people don't meet it, they get divorced.
The funny thing is that these religious people are actually creating the environment for divorce, by claiming perfection in marriage, ignoring education etc. Govt policy is made by politicians who are elected by the people.
Well you haven't know such people, but I have. I don't know where you live, but there are millions upon millions of people who don't understand what it's going to be.
