Hello friends, I hope you are doing good. And if you are not, everything is OK.
It's another week with a fresh theme for the @ladiesofhive prompt.
This week's topic took me lots of time to contemplate since there are a lot of changes over the previous 20 years. I'm in my early 20's thus I shall be writing about my 10 years ago experience, at least I could recollect.
All thanks to @joanstewart for providing such great questions.
10 years ago I would say one of the biggest shifts that occurred are in our families and marriages.
Before you would see women who make time for their children, who are great friends with their children, and spend time with them
Nowadays what we would see are parents who hardly have time for their children. They let work, activity, and social media steal away their time.
Most female children rush to friends for counsel since they can't have a dialogue with their parents.
My mom was working then but she had time while growing up now I get little or no time again.
Somehow I wonder if love only offered when you're a lot younger
Another experience is love in marriage. We do have more failing marriages occurring now than we do the past 10-20 years.
Sometimes I questioned myself about what is happening to the current failed marriages.
I can recall I went to many weddings when I was a lot younger as a flower girl and the marriage lasted for years but today everywhere even social media is full of failed marriages.
A few years from now I will be married with kids. I want to have the sense of old time, no matter how busy I am, I want to have time for my children.
I also wish to have a long-lasting marriage. If such things exist previously surely it can work for me.
I would love to invite @lormez16 @desiredlady to join this contest.

Time have really changed. Considering the failing marriages, I really do not understand what 8s going on. It feels like the next big thing and the psychological effect it's having on young persons is crazy. I just hope people do not consume so much of the media.
Also, workloads on women are a bit over the top hence the need for caregivers. That notwithstanding, it should never be a reason for family neglect.
Thanks for writing.
You're right
We should try to balance work and family
About marriage nobody has that answer
But we try to make ours special
Ten years impact, parents busy trying to make more money to cover expenses lose track of the most important things in life, quality time spent with each other and their children which equates to love in a well balanced life.
Circumstance within each marriage is always 'behind closed doors' no one ever knows what happens. Globally many young people find marriage not to be a necessity, prefer to live together as equal partners. Hope you find answers as you live life that make you happy.
You're absolutely right
But in the term of looking for a quality life for our children we shouldn't forget the necessary things
Many questions raised regarding children today with both parents working at demanding positions, school requirements extremely expensive, sports, hobbies all come at a cost parents try cover.
Somehow life gets the better of those that chase giving, gift in being around for a child more, far outweighs all the needs and wants.
I know we as parents are trying to cater for our children but we have balance work and family time
Times are changing, there's always need for a dream... If I may ask, what do you miss most, 10 years ago ?
I really miss so many things
I miss the world being a peaceful place. I miss relationships we have with our parents

STOPSure things have changed now and most woman doesn't spend time with their kids like how a woman in the past time do.
And that's very bad
That's why children seek advises from friends
In these 20 years, life has changed a lot, in some places more than in others. It is possible that today there are fewer housewives as such, with time to dedicate to their children, but what I see is that there is a better distribution of childcare between the couple. And this is positive, it has been a long process but it is being achieved, at least in the country where I live.
Thank you for the invitation to participate.
I'm glad it still happen in the country where you live.
You're welcome, waiting your entry soon
The sole key of a happy and lasting Marriage is love, trust and patience...but wen these things are lacking then there is a problem. Marriage is beautiful if we work hard to make it better. Nice write up
You're right, but i still wonder why marriages fail
God should help us o
