A humble offering for all of us who are in this sacred union called marriage ... We must try to preserve our soul-saving union with our spouse at all costs, and not to abandon it so easily ... The evil one has done a fantastic job of convincing all of us that everything is disposable, and when it no longer satisfies us at the most shallow level, it's fine to walk away ... But our example should always be our Lord, who didn't walk away from even the most painful task He had in front of Him, though He could have ... Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!

We don't get married to live happily ever after, to have children, to have a home. No, the main point is to enter the Kingdom of God together, which means that I am ready at any time to pay any price, to make any sacrifice and to endure any difficulty in marriage. Therefore, you cannot break off your marriage at the first difficulty that appears, or even if the difficulty continues, but it must be preserved... Marriage must rest and be built on this foundation, and that the mutual bond is built and strengthened on the joint march of the spouses to the Kingdom of God. This means that one must support the other, and both will move forward together towards the Kingdom of God.
Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol
