Divorce

I read an article in Glamour entitled: Do you still have faith in Marriage After all this?

It talks about all the celebs divorcing and how many don't have faith in marriage. They surveyed 3250 men and women (18-40) and surprisingly, more men then women say marriage is a timeless institution. 92% of them want to marry but many believe that marriage is outdated.

Some quotes from the article by women:

"Having a ring and legal documentation does not guarantee commitment, devotion, or happiness. Weddings can be beautiful, but beyond the pretty dress and a few legal rights, I don't see the point."

"Getting married is really important to me, but I won't do it unless it's going to be amazing."


Craziness! What society believes. Just because you see celebrities divorcing left and right, doesn't mean marriage is not possible. Celebs are no better than regular people. Maybe their relationship has more strain because there are so many eyes on them constantly, but they go through the same issues that any other married couple does (who's going grocery shopping? date nights without kids? you left the toilet lid up again!)

And if people romanticize marriage and cannot commit for life, then they shouldn't do it. I think couples who date for 10+ years and can't commit is strange but I also believe that some people just have issues with marriage/trust and that's respectable too.

Marriage is a BEAUTIFUL thing. It is definitely more than just legalizing your relationship and a huge "party" in your guys' honor. It's a promise to stay true and faithful to each other for LIFE. As humans, we fall to stay true to this promise but that's the struggle of life, in or outside of marriage.

I can't wait to get married with someone who respects matrimony and me. Preferably, a hot aussie.
