why is it that people have all of a sudden stopped caring about merriage?

Question

I see all these questions about problems in merriages and all the answers pretty much boil down to this... get out of the merriage. Does nobody care about the committment of merriage, Gods purpose for merriage... This is rediculous, doesn't anybody believe that people can change and if they are willing to take steps and submit themselves to god and his teachings their merriages can be wonderfull and fullfilling? Does anybody else think that this is really sad?

oh and i had some comments about my spelling, I should have used spell check, but i'm not from the US so have a little respect, it's rude to make fun of others, does it make you feel better to do that?

Answer 1

first off, it's "marriage".

secondly, this only helps to prove my point that the only threat to the institution of marriage is the 50-some percent divorce rate. how are the homosexuals going to mess up the instituion any more than the straights ALREADY HAVE??

if you want to protect marriage, try EDUCATING those who are about to get married... maybe not so many would, or at least try harder to make it work.

Answer 2

Yes Hun I do. I have a wonderful marriage blessed by God each and every day. Both my husband and myself reassure one another of our happiness and love every day. I do believe that if more people put God into their marriages it would last a life time.

The problem is the states make it so easy to get out of a marriage, that people run at the first sign of problems. I live in La. and here there is a 6mth waiting period which helps, but doesn't prevent all.

Too many people are taking it for granted what it means to say "till death do we part" and "what God has joined together let no man put asunder" meaning that just because the judge says your divorced does not mean so in the eyes of MY GOD!!!!

Answer 3

Yes i really do not know why but that is so sad and should not be happening at all. WE should care about what God thinks of marriage especially since we promised to love honor and cherish each other till death do we part in the sight of God. My husband and i take our vows seriously and we have a great marriage and would never even dream of divorce. This is the way marriage should be and if people would be the husband or wife God wants them to be then marriage can very well be heaven on earth. Great question! Thanks for asking it!

Answer 4

Marraige is not longer a santiy because people practice fornication, especially in the great country that I live in. I won't mention it. Both men and women are rampant in jumping into bed before they actually find out about each other. Even some who claim to be Christian, I didn't say all, but some will get into a relationship sleep and reside with each other before they actually knew each other. Take for example of a country who practices arranged marraige. Usually their marraige last longer due to the fact that they practice and believe values before sex. Sex is so cheap now a day, that if a marraige doesn't work out, they think they can go out and get someone else out there with no problem. That's an easy way out. SEX IS RAMPANT AND CHEAP and people think they can just jump into it before they actually know the value of that person. IT'S CALLED FORNICATION.

Answer 5

I find it sad indeed. I am divorced cuz the ex didn't take the vows seriously. She is not faithful to God, so the promise meant nothing. That's becoming a big problem in our society. You can't even say God without someone screaming about how it offends them. Our country was founded by people following God's ways. Now that it's becoming illegal to worship God in public, the society is crumbling. Marriage is nothing more than a tax convienience for most.

Answer 6

Not just marriage, though. People have begun to stop caring about all aspects of life-- especially the importance of family relationships of every kind. People are not staisfied with themselves. Americans have become very materialistic and superficiality rules the day. As a result, anything deep and emotionally challenging, like long-term committed relationships (marriage is the biggest one), goes onto the back-burner. Marriage causes us to see our own faults, and forces us to cope with those of the spouse we love. People who enter into marriage with superficial expectations will easily decide to end their marriage. They may not feel up to it, and realizing this will cause them to feel hopeless or insecure. They would rather divorce than to face the fact that they both need to change and/or grow. When one partner in a marriage is in trouble, they both are. But people don't like to believe this, and they cut and run from their marriages.

Answer 7

There are some great marriages out there. I wish that I could give my parents a gold medal and a one million dollar prize for staying together, showing each other unconditional love and keeping their marriage together for 40 years. They have a great relationship because they put GOD first and each other second in that order. Do I think this is a sad issue? yes, unequivocally. It is really sad.

Answer 8

i find this very sad too, i mean with all the divorces and things going on like cheating it'll just get worse, this is probably because of three things
A. they do not actually get to know each other
B. they rush marriage
C. they change during or after the marrige and that cause problems

but hey a pointer, ya no there's a spell check button? and like it makes you look smarter when you use it.

Answer 9

OKAY YOU HAD ME UNTIL YOU SAID YOU'RE NOT FROM THE US AND SO YOU HAVE LITTLE RESPECT. WHAT THE HELL?

OK I'M GONNA MOVE PAST THAT AND TACKLE YOUR ISSUE. PEOPLE NOWADAYS HAVE MADE MARRIAGE A JOKE. NOT ALL PEOPLE. SOME PEOPLE STILL VALUE THEIR MARRIAGE VOWS, WELL OTHERS LAUGH AND SPIT ON THEM. THAT'S LIFE. THAT'S LIFE EVERYWHERE.

I DO BELIEVE IN MARRIAGE, BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THAT IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY AND YOU'RE BEING ABUSED IN ANYWAY THEN YOU NEED TO GET THE HELL OUT! WHY SHOULD SOMEONE STAY IN A HATEFUL MARRIAGE JUST CUZ THEY SAID VOWS IN A CHURCH. DO YOU THINK GOD WANTS YOU TO CONTINUE TO BE ABUSED? NO WAY. HE'LL FORGIVE YOU YOUR SINS.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TRY AND WORK THINGS OUT AND IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT THEN BY ALL MEANS MOVE ON. NOT ALL MARRIAGES ARE THE SAME. AND I CAN TOTALLY UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION, BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO GO WITH THE FLOW. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT AND GET PISSED OFF ABOUT.

TAKE CARE AND NO MATTER WHERE YOU'RE FROM YOU SHOULD HAVE RESPECT. I'M NOT TRIPPING ON YOUR SPELLING CUZ I'M NOT PERFECT AND IF SOMEONE THINKS THEY ARE PERFECT, WELL LET'S SEE THEM TRY TO WALK ON WATER! LMFAO!

Answer 10

People don't try hard enough any more to make their marriages work,most people don't even bother to get married,why should they,they can live with someone have kids with them have all the comforts of marriage but if they want out they don't have to go through the whole divorce thing.Marriage isn't sacred any more.
