I tried the whole marriage experiment from August 2005 through June 2007. In case you're keeping score from home, that's about 22 months of self-inflicted pain and suffering. Marriage wasn't a great experience for me. I was too independent, proud and non-Nazarene for it to work out very well. Plus, my ex-wife was...well...there's a reason she's my ex-wife.
Anyway, the best thing about my marriage was the speed in which we were able to get divorced. It was fast. We separated in May 2007, hired a Budget Divorce type place to draw up a decree, and by that June, everything was official and printed in the newspaper. It was a short and simple process, and cost us $150 each. We both benefited from the fast turnaround. It gave us more time to move on with our lives, recover, find a rebound and all that other B.S.
