How do marriages last?

@MarmeeMarch I'm very sorry you haven't experienced or have been exposed to a good marriage.

@SW-User I just see it all around - people getting divorced . It's the sign of the times I suppose. Values are not held up like they use do be. Could be kids / money / health - any number of reasons. I even had a friend tell me that she is doing it for herself - that's just it - everybody is just a little too selfish.

@MarmeeMarch you're right about that. Most are selfish and Narcissism is destroying ppl.

@AkAtSUki Its not people that have been married past 40 years - its new people and even up to 30 years plus - I've known a few that are just to "me" centered and say they are doing it for themselves. Oh God - what an institution .

@MarmeeMarch yeah i was referring to the younger generations. The older folks grew up in a different time where ppl actually had values and marriage vows actually mattered. Nowadays, its upside down especially once the courts get involved.

@MarmeeMarch Wow! I've never met anyone that said that to me. No marriage is perfect but I know people who have issues between them but they stay because they really do love each other.

I think a lot of couples just take each other for granted. It's sad.

@AkAtSUki believe it or not, millennials have lower divorce than the past couple generations at the same point in their lives. Divorces sort of spiked with baby boomers and then lowered with gen x and lowered again with millennials. A lot of that might be because the younger generations tend to delay marriage more.
