As a counselor, I have shared a particular teaching with my believing couples which has been rather enlightening to them, and which has the capacity to provide them the impetus to "keep trying."
"Jane (or Joe, or June), you may feel you married the wrong guy, (or gal). You may think you were never intended to marry that person. And perhaps he, (or she) never was God's first choice for you. However, (and it's a big 'however'), once you uttered those 'I do's' in front of that preacher, (or notary), and swore to love, cherish and keep 'til death do you part, God took you at your word, and something magical happened! That person you stood next to suddenly became God's choice for you. Your new husband (or wife) was, and is God's will for your life."
(and)
"I know things happen. I know there are biblical reasons people divorce. However, divorce should be a very last resort when the will and blessing of God has been bestowed upon two people."
(and)
"Fight for your marriage. Don't let it become 'past tense' without doing everything you possibly can to salvage it."
