2. Changes in Marriage
I think from the changes that have already happened like marrying and divorcing multiple times, as well as arranged marriages and the fact that it's not always expected to marry, more changes will occur in the next 50 years. I think that more people will either get married just for the sake of it, like Kim Kardashian or Britney Spears. Marriage isn't a serious matter anymore, and I think the decrease in importance will either have an increase in marriage (as well as more divorces resulting from careless marriages) but it might also decrease. I know I'm not looking into getting married anytime soon, just so that I can get a divorce a couple years later. I would be fine being in a co-habitual relationship, not because of the commitment problems but rather the fact that marriage is sacred and you shouldn't have to divorce. A few of my friends are already married and are starting to have children, but for me this is to early in life. I think some other things that might change is the age that people marry. Back in the day people used to marry very young and now most people want to wait, some even after they are 30.

The part that I really can attest to is where you stated the reason of people getting married for the sake of it. I am just tired of seeing people like Kim Kardashian getting married just for the hell of it, because it's nothing more than a publicity stunt. In the end they get divorced since they never really truly loved each other, or they rushed into. I have been with my girlfriend for close to three years, and we both know when the time is right to get married. It's a discussion that we would talk about in length as we already have started to talk about it. We do this because we want to make sure it's what we really want since we don't want it to end in divorce. People need to take the matter of marriage more seriously before they jump into it.
ReplyDeletei understand exactly what you are talking about. People now a days are sometimes getting married just because they can. Take for example the Kim Kardashian thing, when celebrities that influence hundreds of thousands of people make a joke out of marriage, then those followers will thing that marriage is not as serious or intimate as it should be. I think people are also getting married too soon these days. I know several people who were engaged in high school and married in college. These people need to be with each other for a long time before they can simply jump straight into a young marriage.That is how marriage is turning and i think it is going the wrong way.
