Welcome Timonia. Not really sure what you were trying to say here, esp. the last line. Can you elaborate?

The whole idea of marriage is traditional.In a sense if you take away that tradition you might destroy the social fabric of matrimony and monogamy.However there is really no threat in that since it has already been diminished to something so insignificant.The erosion of the concept of marriage and what is stands for has made me believe that its no londer necessary.People get divorce quicker than they are staying to get to know each other.

Yes nowadays ppl do not honor the institution of marriage. It's sad that something that is s'posed to be held so sacred is treated with such utter disregard. All that I can do is make sure that if I choose to get married I don't make that same mistake.

[timonia 1]

It is difficult.Marriage takes skills such as tolerance and patience.two things that are not in abundance.So choose wisely

WELCOME!
Also, another HUGE reason for divorce is the inability to compromise.

Yea but the question is on what basis do you choose the one u marry? How do you know that you've made the right choice? I'm sure many of those people who r now divorced thought that they were making the right choice, when they got married. Unfortunately that obviously wasn't the case. Do u ever know when this person is the one for u?

Pray about it. Let God guide you. :eusa_pray WWJD?

some folks get married for material gain, physical appearance and other divorce proned reasons. marriage should be based on pure, undiluted love...tolerance, compromise, trust, patience and the works. if you lack any of these, and/or are not willing to learn them, marriage is not for you.
as a christian.....i believe in prayerfully choosing a partner. i have seen so many in my society and i must say...no fuss an fight roun ere

Some people are too quick to rush into marriages with their partner. That too could be another reason for high divorce rates.

I totally agree, I think u should know the person for at least a yr and then live with the person for another 6months b4 u get married this way u know exactly what ur gettign into.

Living with a persons reveals alot of things u dont normally see.

It's still necessary Timonia.

At least, in my humble opinion. I've wanted a marriage since , since, forever. Jus because divorce is so prevalent, it doesn't sway me.

Divorce rates are high because, a divorce is sooooo easy to get. Mek dem did haffe spend 1 million dollars per court session, appeal seven years before and go thru the whole rigmarow that was there before and see how many marriages would last.:eusa_snoo

Some people marry because the sex is great. Some people marry for convenience. Some marry because of the fear of being alone. Some marry for material gain. Other simply married because they were drunk. I think marriages that end in divorce never really started. You can't have a marriage without love. You can't have love without God. Once those two are absent then you've spelt a recipe for disaster.

[QUOTE=Manu Others simply married because they were drunk

Some get drunk to give them the courage to get married,then when the drink wears off it's time for divorce proceedings to begin.
