I don't think marriage is entered into too lightly, I think divorce is resorted to too lightly. I think people need to be better at working out their problems, and not just get a divorce every five minutes like they do in Hollywood.

it also has something to do with this society.. everything's fast and instant.. so why not a relationship.. i also think that people shouldn't give up too fast .. but that's just me.. i'm not them.. everybody's different.. o and i think, people do really think before they get married.. (hopefully they think more about marriage then the wedding)

I agree with divorce being resorted to too quickly but I also think marriage is definitely entered into too lightly (by some).

I agree with Jo, who is also agreeing with Daniel.. to an extent.

People escape their problems way too fast and easily. But at the same time, people get married far too early in their relationships.. and just on whims? which is dumb.

marriage for life is and has always been an illusion. Women were dependent on men (and men on women for that matter, because a man wasn't capable to run a household at all), so divorce was out of the question. It was a knot for life. Women got more independent since the 70s and divorce rates got up since the 70s.

I am not going to say that a bond between 2 people can't be for life, but it's not and has never been easy. People just stayed together more in the past because they didn't have another choice.

I think that divorce isn't seen as the dirty word as it once was. It's a different world now than what our parents and grandparents were in.
I think that a lot of people think that as soon as they are married things will change in their relationships for the better and that's not always the case. I'm not sure if it's ever the case.
I was watching a show last night about an old reality TV show called Weddings, and the show I watched last night was what happened to those people 10 years on. 70% had divorced, and from watching it seemed like the couples had built up the wedding into being the best day of their life and somehow every day after that was just a let down.
I don't think people get married just so they can one day get a divorce, but I think that if two people are really unhappy being together, they shouldn't be together. I told my parents this the other day and my dad told me that he and my mum were only together because of me. That I was the sensitive child. He's such a fool. There is no way he'd do anything he didn't want to do.

Anyway, I'm way off topic. So do I think marriage is being entered into too lightly? I think for some people it is, but not for most. It's just that now it's more acceptable to divorce than it once was.

i think people take marriage so lightly , and also when things are no working out, the first they do is to get divorced.

I think divorce is a disgusting and ugly thing, but it happens. Regardless of what I think or feel, people are gonna do whatever they want to do. My parents should have got a divorce way before when they did.

I say no only because I do not believe that generalizations are good. some marriages may be entered into too lightly but I would have to say that it's divorces which happen to quick.

I gather that divorce rates will show a decline in the near future, so I said no.

People are now waiting longer to become married (late 20s to 30s) than in the recent and far past, and these "older" couples have been shown to be happier and more satisfied in their marriages than younger couples.

I also think divorce is taken wayy to lightly. People don't even try to work things out. It is ridiculous.

Yes and I also think people are unwilling to workout their problems if any come up.

I think its a mix, marriage is entered into too lightly sometimes and divorce is entered into too lightly.

tbh, looking at some of the people around me, huge relationship decisions are entered into too lightly sometimes. I have friends who have been in a relationship for only a few months and already move in with eachother, and already start trying for babies. It's crazy talk...

People just need to relax sometimes - what's wrong with enjoying where your relationship is at for awhile? Your relationship isn't failing or "stuck" if you've been together for awhile without doing something big and lifechanging...
