Married Homes a Minority in the USA?

I think it is a very negative trend, because these changes are happening mainly because people are getting more and more selfish and rigid. I feel that there are two reasons why marriages fail - most of the times, people either marry when they are in their teens/ just out of it, or they marry after or in their late twenties. In the first case, the teenagers are too immature to judge whether they are truly in love, and whether they are a good pair - marriage is often just another fad, and in the second case, they are too old to adjust to each other. I believe that strong families foster strong marriages. A person who goes home and discusses his/ her love life with his/ her parent, will have guidance and will learn to choose the right partner, which will lead to stronger marriages and consequently, healthier, happier children with a greater self-esteem.

I think it is not a good thing. Too many children are being raised without good parent role models of both sexes and too little guidance. Too many single parents are killing themselves from stress trying to work and raise a family. Stability is missing from our lives and it shows in the violence and waste all over the world.

Well after seeing my father get married 4 times and my mother get married 3, I decided I didn't think much of the tradition. I have been married 1 time. I thought it was going to last because I married my high school sweetheart. It lasted 2 years. After that I had 3 other relationships, and I have been living with my current man for 10 years. We consider ourselves married even though we never did get married. I call him my husband and he calls me his wife. We have discussed marriage. I think both of us have the same point of view on it. It doesn't mean much to anyone any more. Even if I wore a wedding ring, men still ask me out. I tried that before. It doesn't really give you benefits financially either. I told him I would do it if it was something we bith wanted, but I don't feel like it is special. Other people can enjoy the meaning of it, but not me. I have seen too many divorces, and I think being married would not change my life for the better.

I think marriage in homes is definitely the minority also. I think it is becoming the new era more and more every day. Alot of the old fashined traditions are going out of style and it seems everyone is getting accutomed to the new ways of life. I think there is too many changes for all of us to go through now and it is hard to hold onto the old morals and values that our relatives before us has taught. I miss the good old days when it all seemed to be a good way of life and everyone seemed to be much happier in their marriages and beliefs.

A lot of people in the United States do not respect marriage. They get divorced several times. It seems pointless to get married. I have seen the number increase every year of my life. It doesn't work for a lot of people. You are also penalized on your tax return if you are married. It seems like the government doesn't want you to get married. There seems to be no benefits if I were to get married. I am not saying that I wouldn't get married or that I am against it. I am just telling it like I see it.
