Marriage is not as impeccable as it seems at first. As time goes by, it could erode and transcend into something undesirable. As the renowned author Gillian Flynn of the best-selling book Gone Girl quotes, “Friends see most of each other’s flaws. Spouses see every awful last bit.” If a couple is not able to meet halfway and reconcile with each other given such flaws and the personality differences, dissolution to that vow is the answer. In the United States, one out of three marriages usually ends up in a divorce.

Marriage has long been identified as an important part of a person’s life. Marriage forms the basis of the classic family structure. Since family is the most basic unit of society, the significance of marriage is immense. From social importance to civil legalities, a lot depends of a person’s union in matrimony.
