Okay, People get married, because they are in "love", want to have a family, grow old, etc. So why do almost 40%+ American cheat, and get divourced? That show love wasn't thea real reason they got married. who agrees? What's your opinion? 60% People do however actually fall in love (which is VERY good!) But what about that 40%? (In USA, 40% is about 1,200,00)

Here's what i think... it seems as though now in these times, everyone is in a rush. Rush to get married, rush to have kids, etc. I think if people actually waited and actually fell in love for the right reasons and not for lust. Lust is a HUGE problem. Just because the guy is hot, and possibly good in the sack, doesn't mean that you are destined to be in love with that person. I think sometimes people are lonely and want love so much that they rush into it. And then, you falsely fall in love, then you cheat, and tah-dah you are the 40% of the population and another statistic. So if you are asking if marriage is a good idea, then i would say that wait and really see that it is the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with. I am not married, but i want to find my forever soulmate and be with them and share my life with them. I just have to have some patients!

Falling in love & getting married is the easy part. The difficult part is staying in love & choosing to remain married. No one gets married expecting to get divorced in the future, your expectations are to live happily ever after. Which we all know is an impossibility. So therefore for a marriage to be successful both partners must treat each other well & with respect. In additions both must choose to love the other & stay married each & every day. It's a choice you have to make & work on everyday. The wedding is the fantasy, the marriage is the reality. If one partner chooses to break a vow, then he/she should tell his/her partner 1st before doing things that will dishonor the marriage, i.e. cheating, etc.

I believe it is possible to fall out of love. maybe they got married for the right reasons then something happened. I'm not justifying cheating but getting divorced doesn't mean that the couple was never in love. also, some of that 60% may not be in love just because they are together they could be financially or emotionally dependant.

They want to experience the wedding day..and have a picture perfect day. Their getting married for the wrong reasons and their hearts are not there if they cheat..or maybe.. or things get rocky in a marriage for a number of things and instead of fixing them, and working at it, people give up..
When people get married for good reasons, it's because they love each other and are ready for the commitment, of spending the rest of their loves with that one person..and are truly the most happy when with them

Because we desperately seek security and I think at times jump the gun and get into a commitment in the hopes that love will grow. It doesn't always turn out that way. I don't think that the constitution of marriage holds nearly the meaning it once did. Too many people jumping into marriage for the wrong reasons, and sometimes they may honestly think it's true love.... Sad, really.....

I think that people get married not only for love but because now that they have said the vows they feel like the really belong I mean some people get married like 5 times trying to find their place in the world

mostly, people who cheat, do not really love them, those are just fickle people who arent or weren't ready to get married, or at least not to that person
but why do people get married? Because, if two people love each other so much that they never want to be seperated, that is reason enough, but not if it is a fickle love, which means nothing, and too many people are fickle these days... because, divorce, cheating, lying, and anything bad has been "justified" by society, even though they are evil deeds..

What makes you think 60% of people fall in love? Is that just the percentage that get married? What about marriages of convenience or due to pregnancy?

Marriage is a commitment.
It is a promise to another person to love, honor and cherish them for the rest of your life.
Marriage provides companionship, stability, and many, many other good things. Some (such as myself) take a religious viewpoint -- it is the union of a man and woman before God and the world, in order to help each other in this life and to enjoy the blessings of sex and family.
