amaysngrace Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 More marriages are forced to stay together because it's too expensive for too many to leave. Link to post Share on other sites
2sure Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 People get married for health insurance. That's not really a solid foundation. To me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Radu Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Has the society we have created with increased options decreased the probability for long-term relationships and marriage? Think. Thanks. Yes, and the increased perception over the last few hundred yrs of marriage being a legal contract does not help either. Link to post Share on other sites
Author StrangeBehaviors Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Increased options= Increased relationships Increase break ups Increased infidelity Increased divorce rate And now increased communications have made the percentages climb further. I'd like to believe that the options allow us to make better choices, however, statistically that does not appear to be the case. Something to ponder.... Link to post Share on other sites
Lauriebell82 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I believe that it's wwwwaaaayyyy too easy to get divorced nowadays. It is expensive financially, however it doesn't seem to deter people from doing it! I think if they abolished all divorce lawyers then couples would be forced to actually work out their problems and fewer affairs would occur. That's just a theory of course, I'm sure that people would still continue to betray and hurt each other unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites
