The former vice president will not testify because, when all is said and done, Mike Pence lacks the courage to sacrifice his own ambition for the cause of assuring that there is never another insurrection like the one that occurred on January 6, 2021.
Yes, those prospects are dismal. But Pence is not prepared to face the truth that his political career is over.
This statistic in the US sees a steady decline with the marriage rate among adults at an all-time low. This may be due to the fact that nearly 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce. While Mike Pence may not be a contributor to the country's divorce rate, his wife surprisingly is.
Were the Pences Orthodox Jews or practicing Muslims, nobody would have batted an eye. But they’re Evangelical Christians, so that means it’s open season on tearing them apart. Pence told The Hill in 2002 that his practice is about building a zone of protection around his marriage. Green:

Later, when Mike and Karen Pence’s fourth-grade son broke his collarbone on the playground at school, the congressman was able to come to the emergency room straight from Capitol Hill. Karen was composed until he walked into the room, then melted.
Every family has to make its own choice.”. Some legislators fill their Capitol Hill offices with family pictures, not only to impress constituents but to remind themselves. When Mike Pence took office in 2001, Karen installed a red landline phone in his Capitol Hill office-and only she knew the number.
According to IndyStar, the first place the couple met was at St. Thomas Aquinas Church, where during the mass, Karen was strumming her guitar, while Mike Pence was among the rest of the parishioners. He chatted her up, discovering that he went to law school with her sister. Unable to summon the courage to ask for Karen's number, the future vice president decided his next best option would be to go to his school's registrar office to get the phone number of Karen's sister and get "the scoop" on the musician.
When The Hill asked what his favorite hobby was, Pence boldly replied, "Horseback riding, end of discussion.".
After their romantic first date of taco salad and ice skating, Mike and Karen Pence's relationship seemed to be going well. According to the IndyStar, It made perfect sense; after all, Karen had said that they "seemed to have everything in common."
While Mike Pence may join President Trump for a few rounds of golf and has called him "a very good golfer" (via CNN ), he does not follow suit when it comes to enjoying some time off.

Per The Washington Post, Karen Pence (then Karen Batten) met her first husband, Steve Whitaker, in high school, whom she married at the tender age of 21. At the time, Karen was a Catholic — a religion where divorce has long been frowned upon in most cases.
