People do not like to be lonely, but when they marry the odds are they divorce. What opinions are there of why that is?

What is reasonable to tolerate? What isnt? Are these things not clearly communicated before the marriage?

I guess you have to take a look at the reasons you got married in the first place. I think alot of people leap before they look when it comes to marriage.

Marriage is the love two people but when that love is gone you get what is called divorce. Love is not a permanent fixture but has to fed like any living thing or otherwise it can die.

Useless rant for the day...

"...when love is gone..."

Love does not just leave. For the umpteenth time, sometimes you just have to choose to make healthier choices.

"things not clearly communicated..."

Common sense factors shouldn't have to be communicated. In this day infidelity can be fatal. Violent behavior seems to be at an all time high, once again, harmful or fatal. Mental and physical health of children of the marriage can also be a factor.

Much beyond those type of dangers, divorce is equal to laziness.

Unfortunately, there are some of us that THINK we know the person before we marry them... then all of a sudden when the vows finally come out.. Usually in situations when one first "draws the flies with honey"... When it comes to that time, the "innocent" one says "I Do"... and then find the other one should've really said "I Don't"...

Just because Divorce seems the popular option in today's society, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't get married. When two people meet, and work together so well that they consider marriage, I think thats awesome. I wouldn't let the thoughts of going through a divorce (which shouldn't be going through your head if you're marrying someone), stop me from marrying the man who I fall in love with ;)

I agree it shouldnt stop you or discourage.

I also agree with Crash and slider

Love is a verb and takes action and sacrifice for any long term relationship to get the reward the feeling that comes from loving.

well in my opinion (which does not mean much :>])

here in the united states most of the main stream public live in a throw away society --- a suptle change started when it became easier and less expensive to replace something rather than to fix it ---- this theory carries over into individual social behavior -- it appeers to some that it may be easier to replace a spouse rather than try to work on repairing what is wrong (let alone making mutual compromises) so it has boiled down to the line at the bank, may i have the next in line please

Toaster society. Somebody heats you up just a little too much, or a little too little......

I can only speak from experience, but one issue must be getting married too young - I married my highschool sweetheart - dated for about 7 years before marriage, after being married for 3 years she decided we had grown apart and walked out - I'm a big believer in marriage and committment so it was the most painful thing I've ever had to endure, but in retrospect, she was right, we had absolutely nothing in common anymore and had been living like roommates.

i think its cuz people get to hung up on the little things, like whinin about the toothpaste in the sink, the toilet seat being left up, a towel on the floor...people do this to avoid sitting down and really talking about the true problem...lack of communication is sure relationship death...seems my generation more than others forgot that the truth is better than any lie, id rather have a truth hurt than a web of lies being what that relationship is held together by

Pay attention to what you read. After you have finished reading it, you will know the reason people come and go. Here goes:
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient
time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met,
our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your
turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an
experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an
unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But
only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put wha! t you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that
love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Sometimes we need to say thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

In my personal opinion, which is similar to many on here..there are many factors into the increasing divorce rate these days...

My parents for instance........my mom married my dad when she was 17 years old (back then it was acceptable) and my dad was 21......then they waited 6 years to have children...however....neither of them had really discovered who they really were yet...now.....25+ years later they are divorced.

One thing I can say is you can't really put an age on love, or on knowing yourself.....someone that doesn't know him or herself could even be 40 years old, and therefore if you think about it could be accused of marrying to young....age is in the mind. I think someone should really make sure you know YOURSELF first before you even think about the M word...either that or use the time while you are with that person/engaged to jointly get to know yourselves and grow together.....isn't that what it is supposed to be all about anyways...? Without knowing yourself, you can't possibly know someone to the level that you should in order to sustain something for years and years to come....

That's my take on it :-) All goes back to that "loving" yourself thing I guess....knowing who you are first and foremost.
