My roommate is studying psychology and for her class she had to evaluate the problems with love and marriage today. This got me thinking, and I decided it would be a great topic to blog about! As college students, we are entering the time in our lives where we could possibly meet the person we will eventually marry. Today the divorce rate is above 50%, which is incredibly sad. I am no love expert, but I think the reason why this rate is so high is because it is so easy to get divorced. Couples today just give up and don't really work towards making things work. For some couples it just wasn't meant to be, but for others its money, jealousy, family issues, the list goes on and on. I think that before couples get married they should really get to know each other inside and out. They need to see each other at their worst and at their best, know each other's flaws, and really understand the other person. Marriage should be a one time thing that lasts forever, but as time goes on I feel like marriage is becoming less and less important. How do you really know someone after only a year? If you plan on marrying to this person and are going to be together forever, then what's the rush to get married? Stick it out and see if that is the person you really want to be with; and then after you've gone through fights, laughter and tears, you might be ready. When celebrities out there get divorced not just once, but numerous times it puts a bad rep out there for marriage. People look at famous couples and see how easy it is for them to get married and divorced multiple times, then they think if they can do it why can't I? This is the absolute wrong approach completely. Today's society has such a go, go, go mindset it makes them do things before they are ready. To me, marriage is the number one thing people rush into. Save the heartache, and make sure you marry the person you want to be with for the rest of your life rather than taking the easy way out.
