The aspect of marriage being sacred is not yet lost, the fact that a couple wants to get married is enough as a point. They could just live together but couples still decide to tie the knot. With a wider sense of understanding married couples separate because of a lot of reasons that most of us feel. The fact that married couples take a vow, for better or for worst and when the going gets rough they file a divorce or have their marriage annulled does not mean that the sanctity of marriage is lost it is simply because like all humans do they feel tired, lost, scared, hurt and usually they just feel they want to give up that living without their partner is worth it rather than living with them. It is simply because it is not meant to be that trying for it to work is just a waste of time which is practical in the longer run.

Sacred has a lot of meaning, it can mean devoted or dedicated.Marriage is a result of love. The fact that a person wants to spend the rest of their life with someone makes the word marriage sacred a feeling of a person who is prepared to commit herself or himself physically,spiritually,emotion ally, mentally to his/her partner is not a simple thing.Yes people change and that the availability of divorce is so well known, well televised and well used that anyone can just grab that option, but remember this couples did not married each other out of whim they love each other, making themselves devoted to make things work between each other and being dedicated to do it. But like all things in this world nothing is permanent. Let's not put the weight of this to the couples who had divorced. Everyone needs help, marriage is no joke. It is sacred it still is. It will always be if someone still wants to get married when having the option of living together is there as much as having a divorce is on the table, then marriage is and will always be sacred.
