Marriage

Why has our society become so slack about marriage? I see people these days treating marriage like a high school romance. They get married, not making a real commitment to stay together forever but just until they get tired of each other. I have been taught that marriage is a life long commitment. Something much greater than simply dating. You essentially become one person, sharing everything, what affects one affects the other, and only something extreme should ever tear you apart. However, my ex sister-in-law, and others in the world, was married 5 times by the age of 33. To me, this is craziness. She is not setting a good example for her kids. Essentially, she is letting them know that marriage should not be taken seriously and it is appropriate to get married every couple of years if that is what you want to do. I find it disturbing and to me it looks as though she is simply going from man to man until she latches on to one that will allow her to be lazy, an the man take complete care of her. Apparently, all 5 of them have not been able to put up with her crap. Kids do what they see their parents doing, and from that, my niece and nephew are not learning good behaviors. Does anyone else feel the same? Give me your thoughts on this issue.
