Unfortunately it is dying and fading away. Ive been married for ten years now and I think that it is the most wonderful institution! It is very difficult to make it work and no one is prapaired to make those sacrafices.

Yes it is fading away but so is morals and religion. Marriage is a religious institution/commitment and if you look at today, people see marriage as nothing more then a piece of paper easily obtained by the local courthouse. They have no true understanding of commitment or the real meaning of the vows they take and see a divorce as an easy out. They don't go to church and in my honest opinion if you aren't religious you shouldn't be allowed to get married, after all what does the state have to do with marriage?
I am not some holy roller but I see our American society giving into the 7 deadly sins and ruining the morals that this country was built on.

In today's society, the younger generations are just too damned lazy to work on a relationship, incapable of commitment, and in most cases use the lame excuse (I'm not married to you, I can do whatever i choose to do) or some similar excuse when they are caught doing something hurtful to the partner in a relationship like "cheating".
Relationships/Marriage takes alot of commitment and hard work to make them successful. This younger generation doesn't have what it takes, they would rather someone do it for them. It's that attitude I want it all right now and you must give it to me. Basically they act like spoiled rotten brats.
My daughter who is single, she i have this game we play, every week when we get the newspaper from this little rural community where we use to live, we look at the wedding announcements, and then we place bets on how long the marriage will last before it ends in divorce. We usually bet $5 on each and who ever predicts the closest divorce date wins.
Until the younger generation can learn how to handle real life situations and be willing to offer a strong commitment they shouldn't be allowed to be involved in any type of relationship whatsoever.

yes it is fading away
but for the better
yrs ago you had to be married to be on a checking account or buy a house with someone or be on insurance
these days you can do all that without being married and that is a good thing
woman are being more independent making more money and are not relying on men for anything but one thing... a healthy relationship that back in the day was not always the case ppl got married and hoped they would be happy and if they weren't they suffered together
today ppl are happily UNMARRIED like myself after a failed marriage at a young age just to make the lawyers $$$$
i wear a ring and we had a small ceremony
and i even took his name legally
i do not see any problem with it fading away i just see more happy ppl what really want to be together

I am a 40 year old woman who was very much in love with my husband. Then all at once he left me for a much older woman with money. This not only hurt me but also the kids. Our daughter wants nothing to do with him. When all this began I tried to get him to go with me to see a marriage counceler and he refused. I ask him if he was seeing someone else and he said no. But 2 days after the divorce he was in bed with her. Almost 18 years of marriage down the drain. I guess in someway I still love this man but I also hate him for all the hurt. Explain to me how I am suppose to trust in marriage when I gave all the love that I have to this man? He was unfaithful all through the marriage and I kept thinking he would change but he never did. If it were not for the kids then I would have given up on everything. I know I can never trust love again. My heart is gone. He took it like a cracker and crombled it up and blew it in the wind. I love my kids very much but I know I will never love anyone ever again like I did him and I refuse to ever get married. Today marriage means nothing. When I took my vowes it was for life and now I am the one who has to suffer for allowing myself to love. The world is headed strate to hell cause there is no true love between a man and a woman anymore.

In today's society marriage is somewhat taboo...do to so many divorces teens do not want to get married cause they seen or saw what they went through or someone close went through when there parents were married...most teens now a day's just would rather live together even though in many states that common law marriage... but a piece of paper is a piece of paper to many...this is my views..rather they are right or wrong..they still my views...

I think it is becoming more valuable. As people are becoming more independant and not bound by social taboo, only happy marriages last for a lifetime. Perhaps it will become more widely known, how to have a successfull marriage. I hope so.

people don't want to take a chance on marriage anymore because they may have been hurt and deceived in their past by someone they invested alot in, today we live in a me society, we no longer want to satisfy that other person, and we seek only our own things. if we see one thing we don't like we automatically replace that person. think times are changing, lack of principals, lack of god, of hope, and faith in life. it is not a healthy sign at all, shows where the world is heading.

Yes, the institution of marriage is dying, thanks to the Rockerfellers & Women's Lib.
