for the mature people?

Question

why do you think married people today dont stay togeather,like they did years ago?

Answer 1

Communication problems

Alot of couples don't try to talk respectfully to each other to work it out. I think alot of people figure it is easier to give up then to fight for something. I see alot of people i know starting things and never finishing them so i guess most people become lazy and relationships take effert to make them work.

Answer 2

Fewer people today have good examples of married couples sticking together and actually believing in the vows they said. Each generation will become more dysfunctional because each one will be more removed from tradition and the true compromise of married and loyal individuals. Therefore, men and women may not have the proper role models growing up. Besides, many women back in the day felt obligated to stay in good and bad marriages because some didn't earn their own money or have a level of education higher than that of their mate.

Answer 3

People seem to have forgotten the meaning of "commitment". In our disposable society everything is easily tossed on the roadside or in to a trash can. We see it all a round us, from TV to our next door neighbors. That, and a lack of self respect and respect for others.

In a nation where it is en vogue to slaughter the English language (i.e. the word disrespectful being thrown out for the "Don't disrespect me!" phrase instead people using the proper word in the proper manner: "Don't you dare be disrespectful to you Grandmother!" ) where bling is all the craze and younger women are too often eager to be called ho's, well, it seems that there has simply been a trend toward dumbing down and throwing away.

If our kids can't or won't make decent grades in school, the system passes them and makes the school work easier and easier each year. We are turning idiots out of our school who cannot spell, write or read at 4th grade level.

There are no consequences for actions.

In light of all that is going on, and going down hill, I suppose our relationships are faltering as well.

That, and there seems to be an awful lot of cheap women going after married or attached men, and just as many cheap men going after married or attached women.

Maybe it is a form a social retardation?

Regardless, it is a sad fact of life that some of us are fighting with every breath we take!

Answer 4

I truly believe because of money. Women bringing money home, not having enough, living far beyond your means. And I believe that fidelity has changed. I think just as many married couples cheated on each and or lied, they just didn't get caught. Everything was hush hush then. Now it really seems to be something very common and not this huge deal, like it was when they use to pin the "A" on the shoulder of the guilty. Everyone falls in love with the sex before the person. In my opinion anyways.

Answer 5

We live in a throw-away disposable society. If it ain't easy, dispose of it and go get another one. Sad as it is, I truly believe that our younger generation just doesn't have the staying power because they were never taught that if they truly charish something, they need to work at keeping it healthy and in good condition. I've noticed that my child's friends dispose of their relationships with other children very easily. They are not taught by their parents that friendships are extremely valuable and should be worked at. All relationships are valuable. Somehow parents have become so busy trying to keep up with all the modern technology and obtaining bigger and better things and providing what they think is a more secure future for their children, when what they really need to do is pay more attention to their kids, communicate and teach them the value of loving and being loved.

Answer 6

Since separation is almost no longer taboo in a society, those who are not happy in their marriage just go ahead and decide to be happy without their present spouses instead of suffering in silence.

Just because married people stayed together more years ago doesn't mean that all of them were happy about it. They just learned to live with the situation which is really not the same thing.

Answer 7

I like your question. In my opinion, it is because things were more utopian back then. If one was not happy in the marriage, they remained in it anyway because it was the ''right'' thing to do and divorce ''looked bad''....now people are living for themselves, women are more independent trying to carry on the roles on men, this is not only in the business aspect I mean, socially and sexually as well. Being single is ''in''. There are many answers to your question :)

Answer 8

Because years ago divorce was completely morally unacceptable. These days, it's frown upon in certain circles, but nowhere near as much as in years past.

Answer 9

The world has become disposable. People don't want to work as hard to keep it together when they can get a quickie divorce and go on to the next relationship.

Answer 10

People rush into things to fast and arnt willing to work at there relationships and people are a victim of temptation
