I know my friend's parents who were married 40 years plus, and then died within years of each other.
Their son and daughter eventually got married, and both got divorced.
Why is it that this generation can't hold a marriage. And I find it funny why this son and daughter got divorced, because they usually say if a parent's marriage lasted so will their future generations? Can anyone prove me wrong or right?

because they have been spoiled by good parents, have unrealistic expectations, and can't handle any problems that marriage holds. they think all they have to do to escape problems is to move on to another person, a person who doesn't know them, and they don't know the person. but it usually ends up wrong, because they aren't escaping anything they are just getting another problem because in every marriage or relationship there are good days and bad ones. plus most people are only looking at what they can get, and not what they can give.

My parents have been married for 45 years and I had one divorce and my sibling has had one divorce. My divorce was for a completely different reason why my sibling divorced. My sibling got married to right away after a divorce and I did not get married right away after my divorce. I did not get married "until I find someone better", I did it with the hopes of a future only there is no guarantee if my husband and I are not willing to work on making our marriage a success. Have to add, my husband now is in no way the same type of person I was attracted to. Can not prove you right or wrong. Divorce is always for different reason for different people.

My parent were married for more than 40 years. Father passed away 10 years ago, Mother is still going strong and happier than ever. They had 9 children and all but one has divorced so far. Why? Most likely that we all married the wrong person, and found out too late ,just like they did. But decided not to live with the unhappiness, like they did.

It's easy to get into a relationship and that makes it easier to get out of one, too.
My parents have been married for almost 50 years but I believe that they only stayed together because of the kids, and now they are old and my mum took her wedding vouws serious, eventhough I have the feeling that she would prefer living on her own.
Pleople tend to step over thing more easily nowadays.

men and women do not fully understand the concept of commitment. men want a jump off" and the nearest tight thing to sleep with, no one cares about the kids and so there in lies promiscuity of the mind and body. women feel the need to fight and be spiteful and also disrespect themselves as well and be catty.

The simplest answer is usually the correct answer. On this topic, this principle hold true.
The answer you seek is simply selfishness.
Good luck. Try living a selfless existence. You will see life is better that way.
