Seems like everyone these days is either too busy or too wrapped up in themselves to fall in love. I see this trend as only worsening as the pace of our lives becomes more and more hectic. Anyone agree with this theory?

I was 37 before I found my "true love". This was after being married once and having too many failed relationships. Now I have a beautiful wife and a lovely family. We are dedicated to each other and although we have problems from time to time, our commitment to each other is stronger day by day. I have also known people who have been married for 50 years or more, so the institution of marriage is not dead. Some people just seem to take their vows cheaply and when it gets hard they bail.

i don't agree with this theory because i don't think falling in love is something that you take time to do falling in love is usually something that happens to you usually when you are busy and least expecting it you start working with someone you like. God finds a way to bring that person to your life. Now keeping love alive is something i think people are to busy for now a days because peoples prioritys are screwed up and they put work first before relationship and family. when the love is new you go out of your way to please the person because you want to so it's easy to do but when you hit some bumps in the road and been through somethings together i think people not only let themselves get to busy and ignore their love. But i think some people try now to be busy to purposely ignore their love because thats easy and are sociaety is about speed and escape so yes i kinda agree with your theory just at a different piont in therelationship would i apply what your saying!

A very interesting theory. I think that if love means something for a person ti have in their life then they will make it a priority. There are many people now who prefer to take care of themselves. It is not like decades ago when people only left a family home when they married and only had chiuldren after wedding. Times have changed.

Hi..
No,
"Love", is unconditional... You may become angry at a partner for something that was said or done, but unless it was a serious transgression, your "feelings", for that person will not change.... Anyone who says, "Well, I used to love her/him, but she/he, did this, this and this and I don't love her/him, anymore," didn't love her/him, to begin with!
>>>>>
"Marriage", is more than just a "piece of paper".. or two people sharing a residence.... Once you are married, your spouse comes before anybody else in your life (except your minor children)... Once you are married, you no longer belong to your parents, nor should you be spending every waking moment with your friends... This isn't to say you won't have any life at all outside, of your home... But leaving your partner alone every night while you go out partying with your buddies doesn't cut it...
>>>>
So, I believe, in the people , of the "future".. as long as they realize, that, "Love and marriage", is "work together", very hard, to have the benefits, out of, it.. and that they can say : ........
"We are a happy couple".....
>>>>
Something, is "doomed", when you "give", up!
As long, people don't "give, up"...there is "Love and hope"!;))
>>>>>
My regards!;)

Making love yes...I'm too wrapped up in other things besides making a woman feel good sexually. Now on the other hand about falling in love....it's all hog wash.
If you can't be sexually be compatible with your mate and love the sex competely then your doomed. The male gets the hint that his mate could probably take a larger penis and begins to look for it. If your small your doomed.

Yes but No. Everyone is different. I'm in a relationship where I fall in and out of love with my partner. I've known him for over 6 years, I've been engaged for 2 years and in February I recently had a child by him. I'm in no hurry to get married. I believe getting married changed either one or both partners, many people are afraid of that change so they choose not to get married. I believe love still has a future but I believe marriage is DOOMED to be taken over by co-habitation.

i think people are fallin in love on their own terms now......love doesnt tend to end in marrige like it used to....back in the day women were suppose to get married and have kids but the roles of women and man arent as clearly defined as they once were, and a lot of men feel like they have to play the field before they get too old and a lot of women feel they have to prove to the world that they can be on their own before the settle down.....i do agree that the pace of our lives is being hectic, people that do get married often do it for the wrong reasons and get divorced within the first year because they dont really kno the person they took vows with....*sigh* sad isnt it

No that is not it at all! True love is really out there, but in order to receive it you have to truly want to give back as well! But it sounds like you expect to receive it from someone but you don't intend to give it back in return! Now that is not true love! No Wonder You consider It As Being Doomed! You Are One of The People that you are talking about! And You Are Just To Wrapped Up In Your Self To Beable To Notice It!!!!!!!!

I think it is... I am a big porn/cheater hater and it seems like these two things that society has basically accepted as natural is destroying good relationship therefor marriage is doomed for the begining and also everyone will have this ideal person who is fake from porn ect... and thier spouse will never measure up so they cheat it is a vicious cycle
