Yes, they can compromise. Why would that be so hard to do?


It can be solved through conversation, too.


But people are not cars or clothes.

And what does sexually "compatible" even mean?
Sexually compatible means that both partners have a similar sex drive. A couple is compatible if both have a high sex drive. Or if both have a low sex drive. That way sex is something they will both look forward to and enjoy. Even better if they both prefer before bed or another compatible time. The better their sexual compatibility, the better their sex life will be, and the better their relationship will be.

But sex drive is always subject to change; both in the short and long-term.

If this is what a couple is basing their marriage on, then it is doomed to fail.

"According to the American Psychological Association, approximately 40-50% of first marriages end in divorce. The divorce rate for second marriages is even higher, with approximately 60-67% of second marriages ending in divorce."

In other words, something is working well. I wonder how many of those divorces are among christians.

You're preaching to the choir here. I would be the first to say that Americans are by and large utterly clueless when it comes to marriage.

Except, of course, for those who are judgemental about how others lead their lives in regard to marriage.

Do you view an overwhelming number of failed marriages as being beneficial to society at large?

I don't think that's as easy to answer as you apparently do. I think of all those parents who stay together "for the sake of the children" who then have to live in a house of disharmony.

The apparently unacceptable alternative is that rather than merely "staying together" for the sake of the children, the parents could actually *get their act together* for the sake of the children...

Have you never heard of irreconcilable differences?

Yes. It's a catch-all term that can be used to legally justify any and all motions for divorce.
