well it all has to do with the way the person feels about themselves and sad but true this day and age we come from broken homes and are taught to be that way.. i know as a person all people either men or woman make mistakes and can love or hate and thats the way i look at it.. if only all looked at it that way without sterotyping

If this helps, a fun fact is that Less than 10 percent of marriages are for love as a reason. Now that may be part of it.

Well mstyeyez
I don't come from a broken home but it seems that hit and run is far easier than hit and stay.

I'm 57 and never married. I never married simply because I never found a partner that I felt compelled to settle down with. I have had some 'relationships' that went very well. We had great times and parted as friends in every single case. We never fell in love, and never made any long-term commitments to each other, other than to be monogamous whilst we were together. And we were.
I have always been very much of a family man from a very young age. I was marriage-mined since I was in my 20's. But I never married just for the sake of getting married. I wanted that 'soulmate' of a partner who wanted the same things out of life that I did. I just never found her. That's a real shame because I would have made some kids a great father, not to mention having also been a great husband.
I would live like the Waltons if I could. I would never abandon a family member. Loyal and devotion is what I'm all about. But it takes two. You can’t be loyal and devoted to someone you don't have in your life. You can't be a great father to kids who were never born.
The things I hear that go on in this world totally amaze me. How young people can get married, have kids, and then split up is totally beyond me. I don't understand it at all. Especially on the scale that it seems to be happening.
So I can't explain it to you Pete because I have no clue myself.

My Mom thinks it's because we have gotten awy from the church..and because of that our morals and our mortal souls are in danger..

People are happy but happiness doesn't mean staying married. Have our values changed.....of course. Check out what people watch on tv, what they buy standing in line at the super market. People are not interested in their own lives anymore they want to watch other people live and see what they are doing. If we compared ourselves to Hollywood we will never be happy with our own lives. We are not rich enough, powerful enough,our homes aren't big enough, our parties are small, our cars are affordable, are bodies are soft.....we are real and it is boring. The grass will always seem greener in Hollywood and people will be looking over the fence and dissatisfied with their own lawns.

Tell your mother she's wrong.
I haven't attended church since I was a teen and I'll gladly compare my morals values with the most religious person you can muster.

Yes but maybe the problem is we don't marry those with the same values as we have!!!!
A marriage takes two people to make it work...perhaps one married for the wrong reasons or does not place as much value on the marriage as the other....either way if you aren't on the same page and both committed it's not going to work!!!!!

then why is the divorce rate higher in the church than anywhere else.... not that i'm against church i think it's important... i think that some people in the church tend to jump into things without thinking it through believing it to be the will of god, when it may not be....
i'm in the church, not bashing christians... it's a known fact

Just to clarify,
I didn't mean to say that your mother is wrong easyboy.
I just meant that I know of counter-examples to what she is suggesting.
My apologies for not responding to that more tactfully.

I agree.
I just personally can't comprehend the idea of marrying someone that I'm not on the same page with.
But then again, I've never married, and that's why.
I've watched other people marry who were not only not on the same page, they weren't even in the same BOOK!
How could they not see that?
My very own sister did it!
I watched the whole horrible thing as it went on for 25 years and 3 kids before they finally got a divorce.
I could of told them it wasn't going to work on their wedding day.
How could I see it and they couldn't?
