[QUOTE="nicky, post: 1191352, member: 33636"] The problem lies in society as a whole. So many people get married before they figure out who they really are. So they get married then 5 years later they begin to really find themselves and the spouse now finds they dont really like the new you. I also think so many people look to others to define their self worth that when they find someone who makes them feel good they "fall in love." Another thing I find in the twenty somethings is that SOOOOO many of them think they should have what their parents have... But they dont want to wait 20 years to get it like their parents did. Marriage is one of if not the hardest thing you will ever do. If done right the good times will out number the bad, but the bad can not be avoided. You have to have the fortitude to push through. Something the upcoming generations dont have. They have all been told they are special, they are unique, they can do anything, we dont keep score, and please go to time out. When the reality is most kids arent special, and failure is how you build character. You learn that you may not be special, you may not be unique and that you need to work harder. Which is what marriage is about working harder, the harder you work at it the better it is. [/QUOTE]
