pre-nups protecting a man's asset BEFORE marriage are now being thrown out of court.
Clearly there is something wrong with the laws.

The marriage rate will keep dropping because most men are smartening up
Or women dont think theyre worthy of marrying. :mjlol:

My parents have been married for 35+ years. Dated for 10 years.

I do not think folks understand marriage is work. Sometimes you have to put aside what YOU want for what the FAMILY or WE want. Plus, you have to have a plan, communication and everyday is not rainbows, love and romance movies. Trust and Respect are huge in a marriage, plus keeping your business about the marriage, within the marriage. Also it is not bad that everyone has their own television. Respect each other's personal space and don't restrict a person from doing what they love professionally and personality. You must be supportive of each other's goals and how they benefit the family has a whole.

My parents marriage is far from perfect, but these are the things I have learned from their marriage. Nothing is instant and nothing is self gratification

Also my father recently told me he decided when he HE was ready for marriage and before he married my mom he told her the things in a marriage he was not going to argue about and he has held on to those rules.

Back in the day people stuck it out and eventually worked out their problems.
Divorce used to be taboo when our parents were kids.
Why do you believe they "stuck it out" back then?

Folks want the benefits of the 21st century but all the disadvantages of the past too. No mention of the steep decline of people attending religious services?

People are lazier than ever. Everybody wants what they want without working on themselves.

The end.
People insist on typing "people worked it out in the past'. But the idea/defintion of "work" needs to be changed. People dont work anymore. In my world, work is synonymous with a lower education and all the disadvantages that come with it.

Could be true for some but not always. Sometimes the most entitled are those with higher education.

Another question is, who really wants to spend their entire life with one person nowadays? I mean, really?

Whats wrong with feeling entitled? Why can't I be my own god?
