I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated Walter Backstrom’s article in the Bellevue Reporter, “Take a Second Look at Divorce.” I am currently single and in my twenties, and have no interest in marrying until I find someone who shares the belief that marriage is meant to be forever.

Divorce should not be considered the easy out, as I see nothing easy or simple about it.

It is so refreshing to finally see someone stand up for the idea that marriage is meant to be for better or for worse, and that commitment should not be taken lightly.

Thank you, Mr. Backstrom, for your inspiring words.
