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.

You're not making any sense, so I can't chat with you.

Ironically, places like Smart Marriages, Marriage Partnership, Covenant Marriages, 5 Love Languages, and The Gottman Institute they probably will have a cottage industry generated by more religious groups than secular groups.
The question remains why are we still getting married given the difficulty?
