So marriage. In America it's the absolute meaning of love. That's at least what most people think, but when you pop that question guys, what you're really asking is, "will you scream at me and nag and then eventually divorce me since we're probably not right for each other?" Now where's the romance in that, I ask of you? I'm only fourteen, but my mother is going through what most people outside of Ohio would call a redneck divorce. Divorce is probably one of the top 4-5 things on the most hardest processes list. It is a danger to the psychological brain, a danger to the children if there are any involved. It also, of course, can be a minor to major danger to the divorcees physically, but that's predictable to some.
Divorce in today's society has become common, this is a major dilemma to churches and many other religions that practice marriage, because it shows that love isn't the fairytale that they tried to brainwash us all with. Divorce is also very hard on the child(ren) that are in the middle of a custody dispute, poor little things. The age range of the children in question is extremely large, but still hurtful to any child under the age of 12-13. Custody and money disputes are very, very, very hard, this is because most of them end out in a lifelong grudge, but as long as there are many miles between the mother and father, or man and woman, then there should be no problem in that situation.Sometimes the mother or father cannot move away and they'll just have to deal with that sometimes.
Society, in my opinion, should stop the practice of marriage. We should "date" until we are ready to fully commit to each other, and once this happens, we would then have children. If we were to mortgage anything, both names would be on the contract. And if you simply got tired of each other, one or both people would take the child, and then go on from there. It's not an airtight plan, but with minor tweaking, it could be one. These are my rants and raves on divorce, stupid process.
