As most people know, Al Gore and his wife of 40 years have declared that they are going through a divorce. Are marriages just not "natural" for this society anymore? Were they ever natural? Most people within the United States marry another person out of so called love, but what is love? Is lust confused with love? Is loving your partner out of convenience or out of genuine emotion? There are SO many questions that seem to come out of love and maybe that is why the divorce rate is so high, out of unsureness of their meaning of love. Maybe the people who "fall out of love" were never in love to begin with...
What do you think? What are your theories of "love" and divorce?
Love should be more than a feeling it should be commitment. To have a great marriage that is what you need. You must remember that your partner is human and so are you. You must be commited to staying the course.
Every married couple is not destined to divorce. It takes a lot of committment and doing everything you said in your marriage vows to stay married. Seems like the first major thing that goes wrong, someone will file for a divorce and that is why there is so much divorce.
After a number of years, the romance fades and hopefully people will then be partners for life. The first thing that couples need to recognize is that a man and a woman are like two different species. They think differently and feel differently about a number of issues like sex, love and whats for supper.
Love, as in "partner love", seems to be an illusion. Love seems to be an ideal fantasy or dream that almost always turns into a nightmare..
Hardly. Love is only an ideal fantasy to the foolish and immature (not saying you are) or others who simply don't comprehend it. Love doesn't mean one sails off into the sunset and everything is perfect. But love - ie true, lasting love, not lust or "puppy love" or any other wannabe silliness - happens all the time and is worth all the tea in China and then some.
