I have never been married so I don't know everything about marriage, but I do know that marriage is definitely not always going to be happy, marriage is hard and there will be issues. Sadly some couples can't work through their issues and sometimes a divorce is presented. something interesting that I learned is what Neil Jacobson said, he said something to the effect of an average couple that is looking at divorce has at least 10 areas in which the couple is incompatible. Neil Jacobson also said that couples who are happily married also have at least 10 areas in which they are incompatible. I thought that this was an interesting statement, it looks like to me that those that are looking at divorce have just not been able to find ways in which they can work through their issues. This fact isn't true for all married couples though and I want to make sure that everyone understands that I am not trying to say that divorce only happens because of not working thorough problems. Something else that I wanted to touch on this week is that when there is the situation of a blended family, I learned in my Family Relations class that it is going to take a minimum of 2 years for a blended family to develop normalcy.  This was really interesting to me and but it makes complete sense because a blended family will have to begin to learn how to live with one another, and eventually, they will find a rhythm and develop normalcy.
