because of so much other stuff in the world today no one spends quality time with each other any more so..they go other places to get what they need,it doesnt really mean they feel any less about you its just something they need and arent getting in one place so they go where they can get it.

I raised three children. None of them ever ran away from home.
Marriages are not arranged in the U.S.
People are so hung up on looks that they don't bother to find a life partner. They are looking for 'eye-candy'. And that is exactly what they get.
People get married for all the wrong reasons to all the wrong people. Instead of finding someone they like and respect as a person, they look for cheap thrills. Instead of working on a relationship, so many seem to think that is should be easy, and if it is not easy, then something must be wrong.
People don't want love, they want some kind of impossible fantasy that they have fabricated. And when the other person does not meet all of their preconceived conceptions they move to the next one. Always disappointed.
True love is something that deepens with time. Selfishness, impatience, disrespect, these are the things that destroy relationships. We live in a disposable world. We want everything now, and we don't want to be inconvenienced while getting it.
For true love to flourish, we need to stop looking for underware models. We need more relationships built on common beliefs, and common ethics, and common morals, and common goals. Our spouse should be our best friend. Our confidant. And it should swing both ways. Don't bad mouth your partner. Be conscious of their needs. Don't make fun of each other. Really communicate with each other. Be each other's strength.
And it starts with us. Don't wait for someone else to change. Respect yourself. Treat others the way you want to be treated. If you don't like the cycle, then break the chain. Life can be good. I know. I was blessed with a wonderful man. He was not a pretty boy. But he was my very best friend. He was an angel in life, and now he is an angel in heaven. But my children know what a good marriage is. They were blessed to see one in action.
And now, seven years later, they see that I have met another wonderful man. Marriage is what you put into it. Family life is what you make it. Parents today are nowhere near as strict as they were in my childhood. If anything, children don't have enough restriction in their lives. Enough guidance in their lives. Enough education in the realities of life.

First of all True Love is slowly vanishing from all countries!
Second- Could be many reason /s.
Scared of marriage
Scared married to the wrong person and stuck with this person for life.
Scared of love, commitment, intercourse (first time sex)
The thrill of having against all odds, forbidden.
Their heart is with another, don't want to be with the chosen one for marriage one.
Maybe bisexual, secret or parents may know not sympathetic towards this knowledge.
Or just not ready
Pick a reason

Todays children are spoiled, they blame their parents for their miserable existence. If we had raised our children the way that we were raised, then they would see abuse. My father was so vilant with his wife and children. Men, used to just stop the car on the side of the highway, and beat the hell out of his wife and children, and no-body would dare say a word, or they could be next.

In many cases, parents are abusive, alcoholic, drug addicts, or something like that, or kids are just way too stressed out by the pressure form their parents to do good, and just can't wait until college when they can live their own life.

Most young U.S kids can't accept discipline or don't have the discipline in the home
The only marriages I know that are arranged today are from a
orthodox religion .

strictness is one of the reasons why, or they need time to get "away from it all"... or time to "think about things"...i don't really see how it works...It could also be problems within a family that they are sick-and-tired of...
