And I'm hoping you can see the errors in that line of thinking, too.
I don't entirely agree with this reasoning, but it does have some merit. A risk-averse person would prefer guarantees, even those very same guarantees are self-constraining.
If you think that such reasoning is completely fallacious, please elaborate.
I'm in a younger age group than OP and most people I know are getting married or are in long term relationships. If anything is at all different, it's that people are waiting a little longer to get married.
Yep. People are waiting longer to get married. That's about it. Marriage is in no jeopardy of dying out. A quick look at the wedding industry is all one really needs to see that.
That's NOT why many mention making divorces more difficult to obtain. If you go back in this thread, as well as others like it, those who suggest such laws do so with the erroneous notion that, if divorces are so difficult to obtain, people will think twice about getting married in the first place. That's just not so. Most people don't believe that their marriage will end when they first marry; otherwise, why bother.
Hm...I think the idea behind making divorce difficult to obtain is that it would force people to work out problems, instead of taking the "easy way out" and trading in partners like the latest smart phone. I think spiritual concepts and moral values accomplish that far better than laws. Selfishness is the core of the issue, whether a partner wants to leave things as-is because their needs are fulfilled or a partner wants to leave for greener pastures because their needs are not fulfilled, both with little concern for the happiness and needs of the other partner.
Maritial relationships now are not any more about real love than they ever were. They are about the fulfillment of personal desires, which they were not about in the past, true. They were more about being a stable, basic unit of civilization and the immediate survival needs of the group.
Well I disagree. No marriage is drama free. It is just the couple keep their drama behind closed doors. They are the type to not broadcast their problems.
Yes marriage requires two couples to work but the wife needs to listen to the husband. A wife tends to get out of line once in a while . That is why men have to be head of the house
Well I wouldn't want your daughters because let them find an idiot who they can play like a piano and take advantage of. I bet your daughters don't know how to keep a clean house
Yes, because everyone knows that women who can think for themselves and don't want to be treated like property are naturally messy.
Who hurt you, boo boo?
