Infidelity In Marriage

Marriage is a sacred union of two people that love each other enough to take vows committing them to each other till death do them path; this isn’t the norm these days as most marriages end after a few years or a few kids and this is because of many underlying elements. People get married to start a family and raise kids but in recent times couples have resorted to divorce as a way out from domestic violence, distrust and insecurity.
