why, because relationships have just become so easly disposable, people just DONT want to put in any effort so at the sign of difficulties or hard times, one or both just GIVE UP and walk or end it...... VERY sad, so much for BETTER AND WORSE...RICHER AND POOR..... IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH....old fashioned values dont exist any more.

I hear ya sister !I am very old fashioned in some respects and so would still vow and commit to my soul mate
But the vows and commitments would have to be modernised to fit us both and our world. I am also a forgiving person, wich helps when or if there are conflicks ... Just LURRRVVVEEE to kiss and make up.
Hi ! D have a good eve

because people have lost the will to put the effort into the marriage to keep it healthy and going..it's soooo much easier to walk away from it..real commitment is not the norm but the exception..
here in Germany we had female politician who wanted to get a law passed that marriages will be desolved after 7 years..even if you do not want that..because in her opinion most couples split up anyways..

kidatheart: Individualism and human rights.
Mornin H think that has alot to do with it, years ago it was not socially acceptable so couple were more likely to stay in unhappy relationships.Also the role of women staying home has changed, making them stronger and more financial independant

Cos many do not count the cost, and take time to know if they are truly marrying their soulmate, I believe. Not that it takes a large amount of time to discover this. Many times the red flags are flying wildly right in front of us, but we don't pay attention to them. Then we wonder why things don't work out? Focus on the soul connection, if not there...move on. If we would wise up to this,and stop forging ahead so quickly for the wrong reasons; then I think there would be more lasting marriages.

People grow and change.....when two people get married and spend 10, 20, 30 or how ever many years together they are not the same people that married in the beginning....

Hiya M
You got it, socially unacceptable, and most religions frowned upon it, as I'm sure they do today, but less people are religious now. Women, and men, don't have to stay in abusive, or unhappy relationships anymore.
Women having the right to do as they choose, and having the independence their predecessors didn't, definately has a lot to do with it.
Less people getting married, and more people getting divorced has skewed the percentages. It's not as bad as it's made out to be in sheer numbers.
I also don't believe that "old fashioned values" are any different today, than they ever were. People usually stuck it out because they had less options than they do now, or none at all. There are still plenty of people with the same values as their parents or grandparents had.

For the more technically minded.
There is a natural bonding process that is supposed to glue a couple's hearts together for life.
It occurs in some species of birds and animals that mate for life too.
But when society strays too far from nature, a lot of the natural processes break down.
Hence, dysfunctional relationships and families.

People get married for love and divorce for money ... Now thats the sad thing

Wow that politican is crazy, thankyou for calling me an exceptionhere in Germany we had female politician who wanted to get a law passed that marriages will be desolved after 7 years..even if you do not want that..because in her opinion most couples split up anyways..
, I was married 1day short of 18 years before my wife passed away, I believe in for better and for worse for richer or poorer in sickness and in health, a person makes those vows they should be taken seriously. The grass is not greener on the single side ,atleast not for me personally.------ This poll is Archived ------

Because people don't believe in doing what it takes to make it last forever
What seems to happen often, is one partner wants to go the all the way, and the other partner doesn't care as much; and just one partner cannot a marriage make by him or herself

Amen. It seems that people don't understand for better for worse. My mom didn't agree with everything my dad did but she stayed until my dad passed away. She says when she was getting married her dad told her that: "Be sure of what you are doing, because once you go you don't come back because marriage is "for better for worse"

Because we only have one life, so why waste it on being married to only one person. Plus, most people get legal health so usually ends up not costing them anything anyway.------ This poll is Archived ------
Hi well i think most people who marry today dont really love each other oh they think they are and then they dont honor those vowels they dont try to make it work and thats mostly because they didnt know each other well enough first if you are not willing to lay your life on the line for the other then your not in love sorry.

That's totally true for me... I posted the same reason as you have here on the "why are you single" thread... I never took myself seriously when my gut knew all along... ended up married twice for ignoring red flags and now I soooo trust my intuition...it never lets me down... now i most certainly move on and am very content to wait until i know i've found that special connection keeping in mind the important part is the journey itself

When you make that vowel it's for life ..for better or worst.. so think about it...and cheating is the last thing that people divorce over. 
It's about companionship, It's like living with family..and that is what is..
