@Life01

by miserable way of life you mean staying in the marriage?

i think because a divorce is considered a bigger deal than say just breaking of an engagement. engagements although a serious commitment are not considered as “serious” as marriages and i guess this is why divorce is thought to be a bigger deal.

Yes, i meant that.

I agree with you. The concept of institution of marriage is very clear in Islam. Once married, both parties have certain obligations. There is no warranty of one year ;). The onus is shared by both but actually the guy is more responsible. This strengthens the relationship. There is no place of calling it off on trivial issues and that is why the bond is considered strong. But if the situation gets out of control, a third party (preferably some elderly) should play the role to clear the air between the two. If, God forbid, things don’t get settled, then there is always an option of divorce (which is only the last resort and certainly not preferable though halal).
