RE: Is the Institution of Marriage getting weaker by the day ๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’‘ ๐Ÿ’ซ

in #love โ€ข 7 years ago

I feel like marriage is being weakened by the internet, honestly. People seem to have this ideal in their minds of what love is supposed to look like, and if their current partner isn't cutting it, they just get online and look for the next. No one works for anything anymore, and I think people give up on things way too easily these days. Every successful married couple I know says that it's work to keep a marriage together. Not that it's ALL work and never enjoyable (obviously), but that once limerence fades away (roughly 1.5-3 years), what's left is making a choice everyday to find new ways to fall in love. I feel that nowadays as soon as people stop feeling the "spark", they go out and chase it elsewhere. It's sad, really.

Very well said @pragmaticpassion, the moment people stop feeling the spark they start looking out for it in other places. There are times when it can be momentary switch off and one needs to realize that. Options will always be there outside, but if you could not make one work out there is no assurance the other will also work. Over a period of time it will be the same again
