Until death do they part, there's more than just an implied promise of eternal bliss if married couples remained faithfully married to one another. Happiness on Earth combined with eternal bliss may be reason enough for married couples to stay married than to cheat on their spouses and/or to get divorced. Happiness on Earth combined with eternal bliss may be reason enough for them to try to work on their issues and problems without calling it quits by getting a divorce.
Yet, for couples to remain married until death do they part, they need to marry the right person. Finding the right person is a daunting task, so daunting that some never marry for fear of making a terrible, everlasting mistake. Finding the right person is paramount in having a good marriage. Finding the right person is what we all need to be happy being married until death do we part.
With all the couples I know, I don't know of any couples who don't wish they were married to someone else, wished they were divorced, or wished their spouse was dead. My take on marriage is that marriage is not for everyone, especially not for me. With me unable to keep my legs closed, my mouth shut, and never being able to say no to men for sex for money, marriage and the loyal fidelity that it imposed, certainly wasn't my cup of tea.

False equivalence
That is what they call it. "We all have just as many faults as we do attributes"
In reality (as well as in believable fiction) we have different balances between faults and (positve) attributes
We all have just as many faults as we do (positive) attributes. Faults being negative attributes. Some people may be 80% one and 20% the other. Assuming that everyone has an even balance is not believable. It will ultimately lead to a dull story as well.
It is the differences that provide conflict and tension.more...
Thank you for reading, for voting, and for taking the time to comment. I beg to differ with you but this is a story, the first 4,000 word chapter of a much bigger 50,000 word story.
Much like a rose blossoming in the morning, it doesn't look much like a flower in the beginning until nearing the end. I hope you will continue reading the rest of my story and supporting me with your votes.
Just as no writer dumps all of the story in the first chapter, unless it's a short story, this is a novel length work.
Chapter 2 should post on Thursday.
Thank you,

My humble opinion
This was not a story, rather it was an essay. Nevertheless, it was worthy of being read.
