On the day a couple promises to love each other for eternity, the future appears bright and idyllic; the reality that one or the other might someday want out seems remote. Still, national statistics indicate some 40 percent of all marriages end in divorce. Even with the recent tough economy, the divorce rate has remained relatively steady.

The notion that couples will simply endure misery rather than go their separate ways is not what several local attorneys say they have witnessed. Couples may delay the decision because of its economic consequences, or they may opt to share living quarters longer than they might wish.
