what do you think about the quality of marriage in today's society?

Answer 1

Never worry about what people think. They don't do it very often!

Answer 2

The quality of marriage is all in the commitment that the two people that are married bring to the relationship. If one bails after a little bit of trouble then the relationship wasn't meant to be. On the other hand people that stay together through thick and thin, (I'm not talking about people that are being abused, they should get out as soon as they can) are more likely to stay together its the whole sharing life , all of life that makes a strong marriage.Kids get married to young , to immature to make a lifelong decision, they don't know he difference between love and lust or infatuation. Real love is staying with your partner when they fall apart as they get old.

Answer 3

It is what you make it. I think it's tougher today to make a marriage work. People have less respect for each other in general and our society views most things as "disposable". Sadly, that often includes "marriage".

I think if two emotionally mature partners are willing to "commit" to each other, there is no reason why they can't have a meaningful, lasting marriage based on love and respect. I've had one for 34 years, so I know it's "possible".

Answer 4

i personnaly think that marriage has been devalued by the ease of divorce, the quality remains the same, people still make a genuine commitment when taking their vows, but they do not try hard enough to make it work. on the bright side, you do not have to stay with an abusive partner anymore, because welfare will help you raise the children; and why stay in a marriage that makes both of you miserable?
the quality is the same, the expectations are not

Answer 5

society has no rights to tell anyone about marriage because society has no clue what marriage is really about, i have been married almost 10 yrs we do our own thing we dont look outside for advice its our marriage no one elses. marriages fail because people pay too much attention to what others say and think, its sad, i dont have the same marriage as everyone else i feel its unique and very beautiful and society will never help destroy it.

Answer 6

I think it's more about quantity than quality in today's society.
I've been married 3 times. Three of the most fabulous woman god has created. The problem is mine, I get board easily and I move on. Now I just have girl friends. Giving away houses gets expensive!

Answer 7

The quality of most marriages is not so good.

Answer 8

I think it sucks.. I really dont think that people know what to expect when they get married. I myself waited till I was 31 to marry. I know about life. I have lived alone, and with roommates.. I have seen all the "wild" life that I need. I think alot of the problems in todays society is that it is too easy to get married. People are getting married younger and younger... and now divorce is not concidered taboo... years ago when it was unheard of to get a divorce things seemed better.. people waited.. now, with a couple bucks, you can get a quickie divorce. I think it should be the other way around personally... REALLY expensive to get married. The license should be about 5,000 and a divorce should be $25.

Answer 9

It's depleting. The sense of commitment and respect for each other is diluting. Marriage was once considered as an Institution, but it's been reduced to the level of being merely a contract with a clause on 'liquidated damages' and flavor of 'force majeure' thrown in for effects.

Answer 10

Considering there is a 50% divorce rate in the U.S. I would say not good.

People seem to get married for all the wrong reasons. They don't really get to know each other. And only after the fact do they see what was right in front of them all the time.

Answer 11

I think its to easy to give up and get divorced.I think the quality of a marriage can be good, if you work on the problems, Instead of of just giving up..
