Answer 2

Great question. Marriage being sacred and the divorce rate are different because we as a society need to defend marriage and keep it sacred. Because many people do not hold marriage sacred, they allow themselves to think that divorce is acceptable. Here is why the divorce rate is so high. 1. The generation that grew up during the Depression spoiled their kids because they had nothing. 2. Spoiling their children did a few things: taught kids that you are entitled to get what you want, other people care what you think, and you are more important that us. 3. This focus on the person versus good values started a divide. 4. It came about for the first time during the 1960's and Vietnam. It was unheard of to act the way protestors did. The way our troops were treated was inexcusable. 5. The focus became on having a high self-esteem. Self image is good because it means that you are confident with who you are as a person. Self-esteem is the opposite of humility. It means that you think you are too important in life. The change to a high self-esteem society is shown by having your self worth hinge on things, accomplishments, and successes, instead of relationships and right living. Marriage is a give and take between males and females. We are wired completely different. Too many people hinge their happiness on whether you have something in common with your spouse, instead of building a home. The focus of most divorced people is whether they get what they want. It is all about me. I am not surprised by this because we raise our kids to believe they are the most important. This is abridged and somewhat general, but it lays the foundation for why the divorce rate is so high. Once the euphoria of marriage wears off, you have to go to the nitty gritty. Most people have nothing there and do not know what to look for. We have had the baby boomers as the first generation to be raised differently. There kids now have teenagers and the cycle contiues.

Answer 3

Many people still save themselves until marriage because they still have their innocence. Some people still believe in the tooth fairy...

But I think they are right if they do it to avoid unwanted pregnancy and STDs. To the ones doing it before: wear a condom to minimize the risks!

Wouldn't buy anything without test driving it. Maybe not saving or selves is the problem.
