That being said, Im a Christian and to truely have your relationship blessed by God you must be married. I have been married for 4 years in June. We have small arguments and such but never BIG 'fights'. The reason why people cant stay married anymore is that the relationship is not based on God but off of the fruits of evil.

I'm with lurkette. My relationship is with god and god alone, not me, my wife, and god. My wife, she has her own challenges with god and that's for her and doesn't include me.
God has nothing to say about our relationship; it has no place nor quarter. Each of us was raised under different religions, we both have our own paths that brought us away from those childhood beliefs.
While I like to eat certain foods and do certain things, it does not make it any more or less valid because god is or isn't a part of it.
While you may believe that, I respectfully disagree and have no place to understand how each individual religion can be right thus dooming a LARGE precentage of the married population to damnation just because they did not happen to be part of the the right "club."
As you can probably make cases for how "godless" marriages are based on the "fruits of evil" one can probably give examples of the perils and tribulations of "blessed" marriages of unhappy people who are staying together only because of fear of damnation.
