In these days and times people in my opinion seem to get married for all the wrong reasons. Take the younger generation for example they are ill informed for the most part about intercourse and family life, further more they may have had a bad up bringing or encounter growing up so to fill the void in their life they decide to cling to the first person who makes them feel important, sometimes leading to young pregnancy so feeling they need to get to make things right not really knowing or understanding the meaning of love and marriage. You just have so many in a hurry these days rather they be younger or older, people just want to feel wanted or needed and don't want to be alone, it seems like in order to hold on they need to get married, some after only a week or two of dating then after the new is gone so is the marriage. If people would slow down take the time to know each other and fall in love with the whole person not just certain parts and learn to believe, understand vows then it could be the best marriage ever. As it stands today we are ill informed and in too much of a hurry and just wrapped up in the thought of if I don't marry this person I will be with out them, we are also scared of what we could end up with so instead we jump in feet first just to realize we may have made a Hasty decision and to find divorce is our only option. Sacredness of marriage has been lost for so many years and for so many reasons, we could list millions of mistakes people make when it comes to marriage but the truth is until people get back to actually taking our time knowing and loving each-other for who we are as a whole and even who we are at are worst and locking those vows into our hearts the value of marriage will remain lost. It seems like the values have been changed like when you are young and your parents buy you a toy, well you play with it for a while you get bored and want something else so you get your parents to get you a new one, you get a little older and you want a pet, that pet requires a lot of attention and love it will also throw fits if you don't take it for a walk or out to play so what happens you get tired of your responsibility as a pet owner and get rid of it because after all some people would rather take off and do what they want to do instead of taking care of their responsibilities,same with marriage they get tired of compromising, sharing and the responsibility. Marriage is a wonderful thing if you work at it no one ever said it was easy and if they did they just plain lied, it is a give and take type of thing so when things seem like it is just too hard or too far gone stop and remember what it was that made you marry the person in the first place and if you both can work on it then it will be worth the time and love you have put in it, maybe then we can find the sacredness of marriage that has been lost.
