Does no-one care about working on their marriages these days ?? It seems to me that the slightest problems and they just look for a way out, and that is quite often the advice they are given by you guys on Yahoo. Are there no values in marriages anymore ?? I think marriages are worth fighting for, Dont you ???

People seem to be too self-centered these days. They expect the spouse to make them happy, but in reality it takes both people working together to make a happy marriage.
Communication is the key to keeping a marriage going. Have you seen how people communicate now? They don't even have time to write a thank you card. How do they expect to have time to work on keeping the marriage strong?
Our society has caused this downfall in the sanctity of marriage. We are a throw-away society that does not take the time to fix things. We just go out and get something new to replace the things that don't work. Too many people include marriage in this category.

I agree that marriages are worth fighting for. I do think though there are certain things that you should leave for (if you're being abused or cheated on) It seems like too many people think that every day will be romance and flowers and good times and when that's not the reality they leave. The romantic love isn't what will sustain a relationship...it's just what starts it. Too many people just aren't willing to live with that fact and so they miss out on having a really good loving relationship. All in all I think most people are just lazy and too selfabsorbed to work on it.

Yes, I do care about working on marriage. There is evidence to support your generalization, but I don't think it's for the slightest problems that people look for a way out. I think i'ts more complicated than that.. life's more complicated than that.
You're right though.. the consensus here is "DUMP" him..for often the slightest problem.

Yeah they are worth fighting for, but at what point do you say "hey, I'm the only one fighting for this to work". Being in love is easy, it's staying there that's the problem. When you are having problems and you talk about it and feel you have resolved them, you get kinda tired when the same issue keeps coming back. I guess it depends on the people doing the fighting and what they are fighting about......

yes they are worth fighting for, providing those involved got married for REAL reasons and not just because of the "big O" that they got onw nite. people constantly look for the quick way out of everything nowadays, not just marriage. if their job gets to difficult or challenging, they quit. everything worth having is worth working for including marriage if it becomes necessary then do the work.
