if this were true no one would be married;

Because many times it's not love; it's infatuations; some are so into the looks and the feeling of being with someone, that they picked the wrong person.

i think because most people under 50 and especially under 40 werent taught and didnt get to see what you must endure to maintain commitment.

as you say they argue and part

the key is arguing and yet continuing on together

as i get older i find i have less rules and less things that will make me leave. i also have learned to pick better i think-
so i dont pick someone who would do the one or two things that would cause me to leavegrin

This might be typical but has nothing to do with love

I will make an attempt to not offend anyone.

To be fair, it wasn't always like this. There was a time when marriages that remained was greater than the divorce rate.

Two people meet....have fun...discover each others character and personality.....dream....learned each others "love language"....make plans.....get married....argue.....make up.....grow old....buried beside one another.

A mantra I have noticed for a while now on women's profiles (sorry but I don't look at guy's profiles) is that they love to laugh. Not only so, but that is a requirement of the person they are looking for. While there is nothing wrong with laughing, I love to laugh also, any single person will tell you that life is full of many ups and downs...not all days are filled with laughs. How much more when 2 single lives are merged together? When in a good relationship, you will have laughter automatically...it just works out that way.

What I observe in Canada is that many people think about relationships as an adventure and exciting, and it is. Many consider what they want/need from a potential partner, as they should. But I question how much they think about what they need to bring into the relationship, because I can.

When 2 people get married, a common vow is that they will love one another for better or worse....what's worse than worse? Likewise, as love can produce "feelings" of joy, laughter and create good times, those are not satisfactory for a lasting relationship. Commitment and sacrifice is....okay, I'll toss in selflessness.

I have concluded in my own thoughts about my next relationship that I will not concern myself so much to how she treats me, but rather how I treat her. I just HOPE she does the same. uh oh I reason that if we both are doing that, neither will be lacking and have a more fulfilled relationship. dunno

I think those people are running too fast and missed some important part of a new relationship. Having fun together is nice but not enough to built a marriage.

Born that way? Maybe one of the big pharmacuetical companies will develop a DNA altering drug to "fix" this problem.laugh
