Why is it just heterosexual marriage? Why can't it be any marriage?

Anyway, I would have to say that probably the biggest threat would be not appreciating your spouse for who they are. Really, if you felt the person you married needed to be changed, you married the wrong one.

Divorce stories from co-workers, friends, family, or overheard on the bus/subway/train, or read about in the newspapers!

As I always tell the young people: don't get married. Make all the kids you want, but don't get married. You'll save yourself a lifetime of trouble.
