In today's world young people are getting married and not putting family first they don't know what putting family first mean and I am just like we need to get it together, for real so the next generation can have a better chance of keeping family together because family is most important some of our culture divorce rate is high I mean really someone needs to set examples for other people so they can follow in a positive light verses negative all the time because people are so quick to follow negative just like a person would believe a lie before they believe the truth. I am still young my self but I am closer to 30 than anything and I see people younger than me getting married for the wrong reason, young people need to understand that people will change, and looks don't stay the same the body changes and all. When will they catch on? someone needs to recognize.

That is reason for the failure of so many marriages today,so many people marry for wrong reason,they don't even know there are challenges in marriage that needs to be handle with care,they don't know that they need to be ripe for marriage before they do,they don't know that marriage is not what you can just jump to anyhow.You must prepare to overlook some certain things so that the family can stand.Marriage is good but,it is certainly not for everybody.You must be well prepared to change some of your attitude that can destroy things and be prepared to lay good examples.

exactly they need to know the boundaries of marriage I think they should change the laws of marriage, before you get married at a young age you need to go through counseling and complete the course then you can get married.

Yeah, some younger people may marry because the thought of bouquets, food, party and a wedding dress makes anyone excited for a wedding. It's but it's just one day and people don't realize that marriage is a lifetime commitment. Some people marry to feel secure because they might think they're getting older. Pretty much, think before you leap. =)

I hear you on this. I definitely and totally agree with you on family values, positive thinking and living, and on marrying for the right reason and seeing things the right way. It's not easy to change this things now. There is far greater bad influence around us than good probably, so I guess the only thing to do is to live as an example. Be the good influence, it might not be easy and not really far-fetching but it's a shot, a good shot.

And you know what you are right but another way we can do that is raise our children in the right way make sure they understand values of family, and hopefully we can save the next generation..

I agree. I believe that family is the first influence of us all, so how we upbring our children will definitely play a role on how they will be as citizens of the future society. It is therefore important to always implant in them values and manners, even tradition if good and necessary.

Yes young people today are doing everything early I guess they are in a rush to grow up. They have the MTV show 16 and pregnant which I think should go off air because it's a bad influence it will encourage teens to get pregnant to be on the show

Ok but one thing I do like about the show is how they show the consequences of having a child I mean you can't go out and do anything you have to work and take care of the baby you can't sleep at night so I understand a little in the show..

I feel sad about it. Especially on marriage due to unwanted pregnancy. VERY WRONG! The upbringing of the child would be insufficient as the parents are young and know less on caring for babies. Some people also marry for migration purposes. It feels sad. For what they think are the right reasons. :(
