The concept of marriage is changing
rapidly and the idea of a man getting married to a woman is being under rated. People
in this age and culture see marriage as two individuals living together based
on some mutual agreement. The idea of lasting marriage is no more in vogue,
meaning people can decide to opt out of any relationship, not considering the
commitment and vows binding the union. I will predict a higher rate of divorce
in the next 50 years.We recognize that these failures have been unanticipated
and unintended. The divorce revolution set out to achieve some worthy social
goals; to foster greater equality between men and women; to improve the family
lives of women, and to expand individual happiness and choice. We recognize the
enduring importance of these social goals.
Yet the divorce revolution has not
brought us closer to these goals but has cast us at greater distance from them.
Relationships between men and women are not getting better; by many measures,
they are getting worse. They are becoming more difficult, fragile, and unhappy.
Too many women are experiencing chronic economic insecurity. Too many men are
isolated and estranged from their children. Too many people are lonely and
unconnected. Too many children are angry, sad, and neglected.
I really enjoyed reading your post tonight. The main focus on a couple is the commitment and honesty they put into a relationship. Just like yourself i also believe that the divorce rate is going to increase in the next 50 years. There are so many people that do not value the meaning of marriage anymore. I believe that if you love someone and you are committed to that person enough to get married, you should put in all of your effort to make sure that your marriage is a happy one. I realize that sometimes this does not happen, but i believe that people should strive to be happy with the one they love.
