This fast pace world of visual and audio as well as capitalist materialism has changed the human focus on marriage. I think that we are now marrying for what we can get out of marriage and not what we can add to it. We certainly are not marrying for procreation because for many of us, we can do that as singles. We are not marrying for love because often love withers on the vine. We are not marrying to grow old with a precious partner because once those good looks are gone then we seek out a newer, sexier model. We will marry for money in a heartbeat and we do love our live-in trophys.

I have to agree with you on what you have said here. Today's society have made a mockery and a joke of what marriage should be all about. Today people are selfish and only get married for selfish reasons and not the right reasons. Love however does not always wither on the vine. Love can last forever if you choose to work at it and make it last no matter what! Love is a choice and you can either choose to care for and nourish it and keep it blooming or you can ignore love and not care for it and let it wither and die. You are right most people today do not get married to grow old with their wonderful partner or spouse but i choose to grow old with my husband and love him till death do we part. Looks fade with time it is what is inside that will last and shine through for ever. People may want to seek out a younger sexier model but the ones doing the seeking are not so good looking anymore either and they are fading in outward looks just like the one they dont want to be with anymore.
Marriage today should be based on the principles it always has been. Dont vows made before God mean anything anymore? We vow before God to love honor and cherish the other person through sickness and in health. forsaking all others till death do we part NO MATTER WHAT!!!! These are vows made before Almighty God and even if we choose to break thm and not keep them God sees all and knows all and we will pay for it if we choose to break and not keep our vows. Marriage is a commitment and should not be entered into lightly. If you CANT say I do and mean it then don't marry in the first place!

Marriage is a way to say you want to spend the rest of your life with your mate of choice and that decision should always be made with respect to maturity and responsibility. The problem why divorce occurs is because one or the other was not really ready to spend the rest of their life with that person and they have not found destiny in life. If a woman asks a man to marry her the percentage of the question to marry is plain that the marriage will be much more successful./

I agree people have destroyed the sanctity of marriage, but if we get off our buts and make it either harder to get married or harder to get divorced things would be better and our children wouldn't be so messed up and confused.
It's sad when your odd because your parents are married, we've gotten so busy taking God out of everything we don't realize if we'd ask him back marriage and the world would be a better place.
I know myself and my marriage our better because of God, not because of man. As we all know man has a hard time loving that's why I'm glad God gives us instructions on how to do it and do it right.

I think you pretty much nailed it on the head. Marriage has become a joke in the past few decades. More kids now than ever are growing up in fatherless homes. I don't know where we're headed, but I don't like what I've seen thus far.

Not every marriage is like that. It is a bond between two people who really and truly love each other.

Marriage is God's will, whatever one may say. Without family you can't have a community, and that's why the society collapses nowadays.

Making 2 incomes carry the weight of one, while one spouse is out fornicating... and the other is at home denying that he's capable!

the marriage is a institution, but people get married by love (some look people) and for his needs (to be with men/women who is his sid, his dream, his home, his sould)
