statistics show that 70% of couples who marry for love will end up in divorce. those who place more emphasis on status and money have a lower percentage of divorces.. now why is that so?
i think we put our priorities all wrong in this day and age. my parents' generation would marry for love, or would be match-made - and generally have a lasting marriage; many of whom are happy, while others are amicably together. the pressures, demands and stresses of today's society creates easy tension and friction between couples. easy access to extra marital interests are also prevalent.
moral decay is another cause of high divorce rates.
so what do we advise youth of today? is it more practical to marry for status and money? after all, chances of a sustaining marriage is not worse than those who marry for love - so why don't one have a marriage where one doesn't have to worry about the next meal on the table; but can spend time planning for holidays and retail therapy...
