I come across a lot of people nowadays who say it's okay to make decisions in your marriage based on feelings, regardless of the consequences. Take a situation where someone is unhappy, and they've been unhappy for a long time. They might not be unhappy consistently, but time and time again they find themselves feeling that way and decide to divorce. Is it wise for them to make a decision like that based on their feelings?
Let's take the same situation and replace unhappy with angry, confused, or bitter. Does it still make sense to make decisions based on those feelings? In marriage, do some feelings trump other feelings?
I might be in the minority but I am of the camp where two people should work out what is wrong and figure out a way to resolve their problem together. I am aware this doesn't always work and can leave one or both people feeling worse than before...at that point, would they be justified in making a decision to divorce based on their feelings? Why or why not?
I'm interested to get married people's views on this.
