Over 50% of marriages end in Divorce...

Original post by chichila15

I don't mean to bring such a negative topic to such a happy place (yaaaaay LIW), but this is a serious matter, and would like to open for discussion.

'Over 50% of marriage ends in divorce.'

IMO, this is a very scary #. However, I believe a marriage will end up divorced, if the couple gives up. A relationship, whether it's marriage or dating, takes work and it needs nourishment. There's good & bad... and if you give up when bad things happen, then it's all over.

We use the vow 'Through good times & bad times, in sickness & in health...' for a reason. Life is not perfect and couples make a promise to each other - so why do '50% of couples' not keep it, and end up giving up? Because divorce is so accepted now by society, and that sucks!

I agree with you but I think the 50/50 is based on maturity levels, this is the downfall of a lot marriages and relationships..when maturity goes out the window so does self-respect and respect for others.....
