Dating and marriage is very different than it was twenty years ago.In modern society,more than 50% of all marriages fail for one reason or another.Just the thought about that makes “commitment” quite daunting.It seems that as soon as relationships are faced with challenges,people give up trying.
Dating is more like a marathon,trying to date as many people as possible,instead of taking time to get to know someone at a deeper level.For married couples,divorce is not biased.Whether married for thirty years or eight months,the outcome can be the same.
The fact is that relationships,whether dating or married, are demanding.Things do not always work out,fighting does occur, and it takes a 100% commitment from both parties to make a success of it.When people break off a relationship,they feel as though something is missing. The “spark” has gone,leaving one or both people feeling inadequate and unhappy.
However,despite the odds not looking very good, healthy, and long-lasting relationships are undeniably possible and proven by a great many people.Look at Paul Newman and Joanne Woodard, Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman, or Nancy and president Regan.
