"I F****** LOVE YOU!" "LETS GET MARRIED!" The next morning... "Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my house?!" In case you didn't know, a good portion of marriages happen when drunk.

or not get married if you're not absolutely positive you want to be stuck with the person for the rest of your life!

Definitely. People act like marriage is a short term thing.

I've never been one to complain about divorce but you should never marry if you're not ready/in love.

And that's the way it should be.

My parents don't love each other anymore, but they're still married. It costs almost as much money to get the divorce as it does for a wedding.

because you're supposed to think marriage through, a ton. And because you vow to stay with your spouse for life

It's sad, ain't it? People take marriage too lightly.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Way too lightly.

It's not that people should stop getting divorced so much. People should stop getting married so soon.

(Chauncy Pickles): That's why OP said they need to take marriage more seriously

by Anonymous 12 years ago

But his or her wording leads me to believe that he believes people should stay married even if doing so was a bad decision and the couple doesn't want to spend the rest of their lives together. This post sounds like it says, "You're married now. Nobody says you have to love your spouse. You just have to live with your spouse until one of you is dead. Nobody likes it, but that's the way it has to be."

(Chauncy Pickles): I originally NWd, then I read carefully. It said "so much", so I think OP means that some marriages don't work out but a lot of divorces aren't for good reasons.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

(Chauncy Pickles): fair enough

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Keep in mind, though, sometimes people divorce for good reasons...

It's like they just added in that "Till death do you part" part in for shits and giggles.

There's some brilliance in this post. It's saying that to take marriage more seriously, people shouldn't be divorcing as much. But another way to take marriage more seriously is to really pay attention and be careful about who you marry. If people do that, it will also lower divorce rates... It's very smart in a roundabout way.

When the person says take marraige more seriously, I think that means people should think out if they really want to go through this. I heard on a radio show once that if you have any second thoughts about it, then don't do it. Honestly, I don't think this is a bad idea considering the high divorce rate. By no means does this mean stay in bad marriages but rather think about how this will work out before you go into it. I understand that there are good divorce circumstances, but there are many who probably should have thought out their marriage. Like someone said, its not short term.
