You are so right. If people are getting divorced over issures, such as money, lack of trust, or race, is because they wasn't any true love there from the beginning. I learn from my parents. They have been through a lot of ups and down, but they have been married for 35 years. No matter what obstacles they have faced and will face they will always love each other. A lot of people don't know anything about that kind of love, though. They take marriage too lightly.

I don't know if I would say they take marriage lightly, but I think people marry usually because "its time" or they don't want to end up alone. In either case they are marrying for the wrong reasons, conformity to societal norms or fear of being alone. Peer presure and fear are both the wrong answer to "why did you get married" the only right answer "we are in love"

I understand what you are saying, but, to me, what you just said is taking marriage lightly. Like you said, some people get married because "it's time" or they don't want to be alone. Those are wrong reasons to get married. They are taking it lightly in my opinion

I don't care...as long as they aren't walking stereotypes of their race.

I know this thread is a bit old.. but I had to add my two cents.
It really rubs me the wrong way when people say "oh I don't date -insert race here- guys/girls whatver" , to me that's saying I assume that everyone of this race is going have these characteristics that I don't find appealing, so I don't bothering trying to get to know them, and that's closed minded.
