A big question many Millennials are asking is, "Should I have hope for marriage?"
There are so many depressing statistics about divorce circulating, sometimes even from the pulpit, that the generation often questions if a happy marriage is even possible.
Best-selling author Shaunti Feldhahn says divorce isn't the greatest threat to marriage. Discouragement is.
