That is a matter of belief. An atheist would say that God plays no role, since he doesn't exist.For Christians; if you base your marriage or relationship on God's principles according to the bible, you will have a long and happy marriage! Of course, what the exact principles are, is a matter of debate, and even Christians get divorced.
