et me ask you this question LH 19? If people aren't meant for 1 another which does happen in marriages and the reason why people get divorced? Then why is it that there was enough attraction there in the beginning to get married in the first place? Why did that some marriages make it between 7 years and 25 years before divorce?
This is a very good question. And I can sum it up in one word:
SELFISHNESS
People in western society are way too selfish. And so they get into a marriage and instead of being committed they are constantly assessing whether or not it is working for them or not. Look at the vows people take, and then how they behave afterword. If people looked at it as I am committing to this person, hell or high-water, for LIFE, then maybe marriage in western society could turn around.
It certainly isn't about compatibility. Why do I say that? Because in societies where arranged marriages are the norm, those societies have some of the lowest divorce rates in the world!
Until western society because less selfish, then the divorce rate will continue to climb.
IHC, can I ask a personal question? Did you and your STBxW go through premarital counseling?
