People don't want to work just to keep what they have. We live in a "replacement" society. Microwave broke? Go buy a new one! Spouse getting on your nerves? Get a divorce!
With all of our technological advances, we have lost the most basic and precious of commodities . . . our humanity towards each other. Sometimes I believe that we were better off 40, even 50 years ago (I'm 34); back in a time where people were more willing to fix what's broken and not rush out to find something new and improved.
Just my opinion.

Starting a realatonship, this is the fun part. This is the time, where you and him get to know each other and it is in a sense magical the stuff movies are made of. After a while, you get to know the other one to the point where you know there bad habits which possibly gets on your last nerve, there might n ot be that as much conversation because of how well you know the other one, and the newness of the relationship has worn off. Relationships are like a garden in that they are hard work but if given the time and effort you will see the fruit of your labor; the catch is people do not want to put the work in. Most people, they want what the see in movies of having this passionate relationship without putting hardly any work into it which is all good but it is not reality. Reality is that you are going to get tired of the other person and their habits and their stories you have heard at least a million times etc. I hope this helps.

I feel that people think that once they are with some one for a long period of time they just get comfortable. So don't make that extra effort the way they did at first.

Because it takes patience,and that my friend is a virtue.
we don't want to wait for anything,you've got to learn how to wait (in love) for someone to change
when you maintain something it's done over a period of time,and that's something we don't like to do.
The singer Luther Vandross sang a song with the lines
"When you take a chance on love you'll see it's not a waste of time if you truly believe ...the impossible can be"
all you loving people keep the faith.

When you find the answer, please share. I will give you my thoughts, laziness....comfortable in the relationship, and then they get lazy..then trouble hits! Just like people let theirselves go after they are married. They just get lazy, it is easier. They don't have to be on their best behavior any longer. For example, most guys would not belch in front of their girl, but they do alot of gross things in front of their wives. The ladies wouldn't go out looking like they just woke up from a drunk when they are dating someone, but they don't care if they look like a mac-truck hit them after they are married. They got who they want to be with, then since they are so secure-or feel so secure-there why bother with it starts. So, laziness, is my answer. I am looking forward to keeping up with the answers you get. Good question!

People get so caught up in new relationships and fail to realize that it takes a lot of work to keep one alive. Some people just get to comfortable and expect it to work.

Because lots of people enjoy the chase, but a far lesser number appreciate the catch. We take people for granted when they share themselves with us. Hence, high divorce rates and single parenthood. However, I still have hope for the one who will woo me in the beginning until death do us part.

That's a good question. I guess they think once they have the relationship, there's no use in working at it. That's why so many people can't make it.

I guess the thrill of getting that person drives them toanything but once they get it it becomes less interesting to them!

no way, you got it twisted. you ask her out and start the relationship, but maintenance...you gotta take her out, buy her things, and all that just to ensure her happiness and yours too
