Agreed. It wasn't that long ago that dying during childbirth was a pretty normal thing. What's considered risky today would be laughed at by people from 100 years ago, even 50 years ago, for that matter.

OP, you are right.

These are the flaws we have in society.

Marriage and love are artificial.

Just because you marry someone, doesn't mean you'll be with them forever.

Furthermore, they could die some day before you which means you'll end up alone anyway EVEN if there is no divorce.

In life, you're truly alone so focus on yourself and your goals.

Marriage is a risk, yes, but until you're willing to take that risk, you shouldn't get married.

Marriage has always been somewhat of a gamble, just because we have more social media outlets doesn't always mean that people are gonna cheat. If you're gonna cheat, you're gonna cheat, people cheated long before FB and twitter and all of the various apps out there to meet people.

From what I've gathered is is that people are still getting married, but they appear to be waiting longer and getting married when a bit older, which is probably a good thing, I don't think it's wise to be married at 18 yrs old, but that was how things were done way way back in the day.

You have no need to go to anyone's home and point out their flaws or the flaws in their marriage because I can guarantee you those who are mature, secure and in long term marriages can point it all on themselves. They are not unaware but they also are not stupid enough to let trivial dribble get in the way of their long lasting, loving, marriage.


IF you are lucky you will one day learn the difference.

Having a family is still important to most people. I don't see that changing any time soon.

You are right I don't have to go into anyone's home. If I want to look at drama all I have to do is turn on the TV and there is drama. Doesn't matter how mature and secure is a marriage. Couples argue and they just keep their problems behind closed doors because they are scared to go out in public and broadcast their arguments if the spouse didn't do the dishes last night or flush the toilet after use.

Dishes, flushing the toilet, etc...

Those are not "marital problems". Any mature couple see those as trivial things that peopel living together simply work out. No different from roommates. Now if you cannot communicate with each other to work those issues.. that's a problem....

Not flushing the toilet is not a marriage issue.....lol. you could have the same problem with a non-sexual roommate.

How precious are you that you think to think that those are relationship problems?

Yes....they can be a symptom of not being able to communicate...or even outright incapibilty.....but they are not the problem. Only someone that can't understand an actual positive long-term relationship.
