The institution of marriage has been bounced around, thrown up, stomped on a few times, and then rinsed off and repeated. What have we done to a ceremonial process that is supposed to be about your desire to be with your loved one forever? Do people not realize that problems arise and need to be dealt with as a unit? Or have we lost what It means to actually value someone and something as much as that? The answer to that question at this point is rather hazy.

Perhaps one of the most influential reasons why couples get married so quickly now in days is societies view on relationships and the need for marriage. How often have you known a couple that has only been together a short time and is already constantly harassed by everyone about when they are going to “tie the knot”? We have apparently replaced the end goal of a relationship with marriage instead of happiness.

What happens in these situations is an outcome of how society views relationships. This needs to be changed badly. We have to stop living in the past and realize that relationships are founded on a desire for two people to actually spend the rest of their lives together.

A marriage shouldn’t be founded on the principles of young love, love due to a child, or a desire to make others happy instead of you. It is in these relationships that the marriage ends up failing and divorce is the only answer for these couples.

Divorce is extremely damaging to the family unit. Especially if it happens to involve children or anyone other than the two parties involved. People tend to be selfish to an extent in a marriage. They don’t really understand what the institution of marriage is actually and they regularly abuse its privileges and its benefits. It should be considered a great deal by both parties before agreeing to partake in the ceremony. Everyone has to realize that when a marriage ends and there is a family created they are then split. Children are unaware of what is actually happening most of the time.

For these reasons couples really need to consider what it means to partake in marriage. They need to be ready to completely and utterly be there and be supportive of their spouse. They need to work to stop divorce.
