Including their promises. Courtesy would be nice. But if you want to really keep the divorce rate down, remind people they said "death do us part" when they start talking about divorce. Everyone who's ever been married has moments of doubt, especially in the first few years. The problem today (imho) is it's too easy to act on impulse (to marry and then to divorce).
*shrug* At least you can tell they fought for their marriage. Anyway, not advocating folks take divorce off the table. Just make it more of a last resort than it seems now.
Well ya'll are talking to the wrong person, I've been married 34 years to my high school sweetheart, so I haven't got a clue about what this thread is even about?? 　 Respect?? She respects my space and I respect hers!!
Actually I don't. 　 　 I simply am not that naive that I believe anyone can change decades and several generations of programming, and think everything will be solved by just telling people how and why they are supposed to thinks a particular way. 　 　 My dad was married 4 times and my mom was married at least twice that many. Something in the mindset kept me and my brother from doing the same thing. People are programmed differently from their environment. Some go one direction and others who live the same situations go completely different directions. My sisters have all been married numerous times each, yet we all grew up in the same household, all taught the same values, and all obviously gathered different information from the same experiences. 　 　 People today have thousands of different choices that just were not available to them 40-50 years ago. To try and place them into a particular mold and expect only positive results, isn't logical, and it is not that simple.
I don't see how anything you posted refutes any of my assertions, so I assume this was meant for someone else.
Your words; Don't know anybody else it could have been directed at. People don't do as they are told any more. Now if they would just utilize some common sense and restraint to this new found freedom we might be getting someplace. I doubt it will happen, and it certainly will never happen over night.
They get fired, excommunicated from their families, and generally punished socially for acting that way.
HUH!?? No I believe the azzholes well outnumber the good folk, like us. And I'm getting a little worried about you at this point.
I must admit I have my moments where my smart azz nature gets the best of me. Thanks for calling me out on it.
