My own feelings on this topic are that many couples get married for the wrong reasons; they got caught up in the thrill of the ceremony, the big wedding, etc. and forget that the marriage is what's important - not the party! People forget they will have to spend their lives with the person they marry, and really don't think things through well enough before getting married. I think folks also lack staying power and committment; as soon as a problem crops up, they take the easy option and either quit the marriage or have an affair. No one's perfect, everyone may slip occasionally, but staying power and love will see you through. I also think there's a lack of compromise and give and take in many marriages - fewer people are willing to change their behaviour, even if it upsets their partner. Many people believe that they're always right and they have a right to have things their own way. And I think that it's too easy to divorce, and that there's little social approbation these days. I'm not saying we should have a return to 'fault' in divorces, but when tehre's no cost to divorce except money, it's inevitable that some people will feel it better to take the 'quick fix' of a divorce rather than teh hard work of making a good marriage.
