True or false?

Question

Sadly, divorce is so common that marriage has lost its true meaning where a couple pledge to love till death do they part.

Answer 1

I think now a days people do not take the time needed to look into what a marriage means. My generation and the one before me, couples are not always commited. They have an escape goat if things go wrong. The younger generations think... if things do not go right we can just get a divorce.

But I however think your statement is false because there are many couples out there who do what is needed to make a marriage work. Its just becoming few and far in between. I have known my husband for 11 years. Granted we have only been married for 2 months but we both understand that marriage is fun exciting, complicated, and demanding and it takes work. Since we are so young to be sure we were ready for marriage we talked with so many couples who have successful marriages to see what they recommend. We read books and looked stuff up online. I know it sounds silly but it helped us to realize that we were more ready then we thought. Neither one of us believe in divorce unless all options have been stressed and both people have tired and are miserable.

I think the true meaning of marriage and love still exists and you can still find it even in the younger generations. I just think its less common of those couples under 30.

Answer 2

I say both: it depends on the circumstances and the people. I was married to a man that was married before he married me, without having a divorce first. For him, I don't think he takes marriage seriously or makes it important. He was cruel and abusive. But finding this out was still hurtful and it was what I needed to leave. Now I am engaged and very happy. I know I'm going to be his first wife, and I know we both take this very seriously. We have been together for 4 years, and every time we are together its like a first date experience. I finally found someone to spend the rest of my life with. We are both ready to say till death do we part.

Answer 3

False

Answer 4

sadly its true!!! I know there are some instances where divorce is the only answer but for the most part people decide being married is too hard and move on. What people need to realize is that marriage takes work and when you love someone you stand beside them through thick and thin!

Answer 5

It is a fallacy that the rate of divorce has gone up. It has actually been going down...

I say False. My parents have been married 35 years and still dance around the kitchen together:)

Answer 6

False

Answer 7

I agree. I think too many people rush into marriage and they don't take the time to discuss important issues. Divorce is so easy in this country ... My fiance and I are marrying for life. Neither family believes in divorce and we know that it's not an option for us. I feel that if you get married then it's forever, through thick and thin and people give up too easily. I say don't let society pressure you to get married, take the time to really knwo your partner and then decide. It's better to break it off before the marriage happens ...

Answer 8

False, it's completely up to the couple on whether they decide to honor the pledge they made. Not everyone will give up so quickly.

Answer 9

Unfortunately it may be true for some couples there are still many couples that take their vows very seriously.

My husband and I celebrate our 6th anniversary on January the 3rd. We got married young (18 and 21) and haven't once wanted to turn back and not get married through ups and downs. We take the vows we took very seriously, and will continue to do so.

Answer 10

True and False. We don't get many examples, but there's still a few couples I know who've only been married once, and work things out.
