lol 
This is bad. Totally bad. With the way couples look at marriage today, I don't see why they would even need to put up a sign like that. It's sad, but no one takes marriage seriously anymore.

I work in a law office. About 3/4 of our practice is in divorce/custody.
People take marriage very seriously.. and divorce even moreso. I don't see people traipsing in here on a whim.

I'm not sure anyone knows... but please, I invite you to stand in front of my office and ask our clients whether they feel they take marriage seriously. Go right ahead

I believe you, it's just with the divorce rate being so high, it's just really hard to understand why.

No one really knows -- but I'll bet we'll spend another few million dollars this year paying universities to do research on the subject!

I think it may be our careers. It seems like people are more into their careers and preparing for them than they are into getting married and staying married. Look at marriage back in the 50s and look at it now. There is something very wrong. I may be wrong, but it's just a wild guess.

I was watching this documentary on the Discovery channel and it was talking about how the moon is moving away from the earth. The moon has an effect on the tides. It's been proven that the moon can control our actions. I wonder if this could have something to do with it.

I saw that on the history channel I think. I guess I'll have to give you the (blank stare) on that wild, wild guess.
LOL.

1) Britney Spears
2) Fundamentalists who get married at 18 so they can engage in some God-sanctioned boning
3) People who get married more than once are much more likely to end up in divorce in subsequent marriages
4) Lack of adequate pre-marital counseling

o.k. I understand that, but why now? It wasn't like this 50 years ago. Was the counseling better then? What does Britney Spears have to do with it? She's an idiot.
