Is marriage at risk? (75)
southmiami4321: Been quite a debate here so far.I suppose each country has their own statistics on married couples and union couples.
In USA
"Married adults now divorce two-and-a-half times as often as adults did 20 years ago and four times as often as they did 50 years ago... between 40% and 60% of new marriages will eventually end in divorce. The probability within... the first five years is 20%, and the probability of its ending within the first 10 years is 33%... Perhaps 25% of children ages 16 and under live with a stepparent." As of 2009, first marriages which ended in divorce lasted a median of 8 years for both men and women. The median time to separation from first marriages was about 7 years.
Other than marriage, there are three types of relevant unions in the United States: civil unions, domestic partnerships, and cohabitation.
For me marriage is based on love, no other reason.
If marriage is on risk it will cause problems, foundations on how families live their lives, each is a story, new experiences and a new generation growing up in it.

A debate? I wouldn't call it that but thanks for the stats.

lalasierra: Youmeus: Be very careful and answer at your own risk. Each word cyou use may be turned around, scruntinized and held against you for the rest of your posting days!
is very true lasasierra
it can be so serious in here at times...the more serious/complex ones will make a big deal out of nothing but it can amusing at times too.
is like the teachers telling us to stand still and be silent(pointless)...the Earth is spinning so no matter what way I stand am actually still moving in the grand scheme of things...
what amused me at school was wen teacher use to ask''if you know the answer to the question put your hand up,funny thing was she would ask the one's that didn't put up their hands(again pointless).
nothing wrong with your topics

lalasierra: Now THAT'S funny!
Change? For whom? For what reason? Just so a few more people will like my topics? I'm sorry, but I'm not being paid to do this. Like I said before, I can't please everyone and this is just supposed to be for fun and entertainment. Not to loose sleep over or condem me because you THINK you know me.

Change to become a better person, for yourself, not so people will like you. It's called growth, people do that you know.
As I said in my previous post, I don't know you, and if you had read it, rather than reacting the way you did, you'd see that. All I know of you, is from what you post in the forums, and my previous view still stands.
Your choice, grow, or stagnate.

marriage a construct
and, yeah, OW is correct - the future will be very different, but am not sure his "final" analysis is correct... it's a crap shoot and those who stand last will decide what's important. marriage by law, is possibly a fashion that will go out the window. I know quite a few who are successful couples without legal binding.
I'm thinking: movie series Mad Max...

marriage...meh..
handfasting........
as we collectively change, so do the rituals we use to express ourselves.
so..yah, i think marriage will change.
relationships/families/couples... will still model loving, committed relationships...just might not be so labelled.

I know plenty of people who are not married and have been committed to each other for several years. They live together and some have children. They are solid, loving relationships and I don't see how a marriage license would make them any different.

In response to: Who will model loving, committed relationships in a world of single adults?
First, let me say lalasierra that I do not see your question as biased. It seems to be simply an inquiry into the viability of conventional marriage, a valid question to ask. Your question indeed presents two choices single and married. Perhaps the way you worded it could be improved. But this is not a linguistic forum, and I do not agree with the writer for attacking you ad hominum. Keep up your postings. There's room on this site for everyone.------ This thread is Archived ------
plainlyjune: I don't understand how marriage came to be at risk from your statement.
\ just because 50 failed people from different place join together it doesn't mean that 5 million couples have the same miserable stories...I'd rather join the 5 million than listen to the 5...
