Doesn't anybody believe that once you are married you stay married to that person? And. Why must people live together to find out if they can stay married? It has been proven that more married couples make it if they didn't live together before hand.
Even though keep up with actors and actresses lives, doesn't mean we have to copy them by getting married 3x or more. If you do follow someone, follow Tom Hanks.

The older I get, I realize more and more that parents are not as intelligent, or up on the pedestal they used to be when I was a kid. Mine divorced when I was 2, and as a result, I've been more cautious as to who I've dated and now am happily engaged. I am so against divorce, because of observations of other people.
So I guess some people can watch others divorcing left and right, and think that it's "okay". I think that's because they lack common sense, and no one has taught them otherwise.
Kudos for mentioning Tom Hanks. Great actor/director, and happily married for years.

I don't think parents teach that necessary...I mean indirectly yes when they divorce. But I think all of society is for blame, yes movie stars, and even movies. The general thought is "ohhh well if it doesn't work out we will get divorced" and people have no sense to think if I am thinking this about this person then perhaps it's a bad Idea.
I do agree with you though marriage is not what it used to be...I got married 11 years ago for life or I guess until death would be more accurate.
I also don't understand why having children w/o marriage is something people even considering doing now. The questions are on here daily about that. I mean it's hard enough to raise kids when there are two of you but just one.....

As someone who is divorced, I'm not teaching my children that divorce is OK. Frankly, I'm not teaching them one way or another about it.
But they must realize that sometimes divorce is the best option. In many ways, I'm a better father to my daughters even though I don't see them as often than I was when I was around them all of the time, because the situation I was in was making me miserable.
Not every marriage is perfect and not every marriage ends in divorce, but some do, and for reasons that most likely don't have anything to do with the children. Children should be taught that just because their parents divorce doesn't mean they aren't loved less or that the divorce is their fault. I have a blast with my daughters when I'm with them, something I couldn't have said had I stayed in the marriage I was in.

I don't think that people are teaching their kids that divorce is OK, kids have become comfortable in the surroundings of people getting divorced and it is no longer a big thing to get divorced. These days, divorce is no longer a last resort. People think, "If I don't like him/her, I could just get a divorce."
This can be partially blamed on the parents, but I blame it mainly on the television.

Because they are Democrats who went to college and dont believe in values!
All that relative crap has made people think that their feeling are more important that right and wrong!!!
now women have taken over the education system and feminized it so boys grow up feminized. Women then dont understand how important sex is to men, and men go find sex otherplaces!!!

I wish my parents had gotton divorced. Staying together "for the kids" sucks. We all felt like my parents were just watching the calendar.

it's because people are getting married for ALL THE WRONG reasons anymore...it's either have their children in split homes, or have their children watching their parents kill each other....or beat each other up every day, or screaming yelling and fighting, because they got married....and didn't know what the hell they were getting themselves into.

well sometimes people grow apart and they can still love each other but only as friends. but people do grow a part and sometimes people make mistakes in life. but it doesn't make it right by divorcing. but we are all human and we all make mistakes even believing love someone but they relieze that they don't. but i don't know if i helped much, so sorry.
