But, what happens when that love ends or is not reciprocated?<\/p>\n<p>Divorces make it seem like good marriages are a thing of the past. Marriage has become so disposable - if it doesn't work, throw it away. Never mind the past years of happiness before the rough patch. <strong>Obviously, there are some divorces that are necessary. Instances of abuse, habitual infidelity or when it poses any other danger to the spouse or children make a divorce needed for safety.<\/strong> Otherwise, most marriages are salvageable with a little effort.<\/p><div class=\"ad ad-container visible-xs-block\" style=\"height: 330px !important;\">\n    <div class=\"ad-label alt-text alt-pos-above\"><\/div>\n\t<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-mob_prem1_mid-0\" class=\"DFPAdSlot\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ad ad-container hidden-xs offset\" style=\"height: 680px !important;width: 300px !important;\">\n    <div class=\"ad-label\"><\/div>\n\t<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-dt_btf_inarticle1-1\" class=\"DFPAdSlot\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Read these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familytoday.com\/relationships\/5-great-reasons-to-get-divorced\/\" style=\"color:4f91cd;\" data-event=\"link\/embeded\/20204\/tab\">5 common reasons people use to justify divorce<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This video depicts a Chinese couple who is struggling in their marriage. The husband hands the wife divorce papers. She is visibly upset, yet, consents to sign if he does one thing for her - hold her once every day for a month. He agrees to the stipulation.<\/p>\n<p>The wife, Faye, has her husband meet her in various locations starting with where he proposed to her. She reminds him of the proposal, the ring and that he made a life-long commitment to her. The request of holding her is fulfilled and they depart until the next day.<\/p>\n<p>This process is repeated with the locations of the first \"I love you,\" their first kiss and finally, where they first met - where Faye brings the signed divorce papers, as promised.<\/p>\n<p>As she walks away, her husband is struck with the memory of how they first met. He runs and calls after her, \"Can I hold you tomorrow?\"<\/p>\n<p>The message is simple: \"Love, don't let it go.\"<\/p>\n<p>The greatest heartbreak in life is often losing someone you love.
