If we had been less reliant on technology and the security that we enjoy in being divorced from what we used to know, maybe things would have turned out differently.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People try much less hard to make a marriage work than they used to fifty years ago. Divorce is easier.
Content and technology are strange bed fellows. We are joined together. Sometimes we misunderstand each other. But isn't that after all the definition of marriage?
Some of us stay married because we're in competition with our divorcing 1960s and 1970s parents, who made such a hash of it. What looks appealing to us now, in an increasingly frenetic, digital world, is the 1950s marriage.
Divorce is a by-product of the fact that maybe the nuclear unit is gone.
I never thought I would be divorced.
Instead, I think over the years we have cut the strength of marriage and relationships by the law and weakened the institution. We have tried to deal with relationships with no-fault divorce, with child custody, with so many other avenues; and it has not helped.
I'd rather never have been married than been divorced a few times. Not that there's anything wrong with divorce, but I don't think I could do it if that was a possibility.
People don't get married to get divorced. Maybe people weren't meant to be together forever.
As connected as we are with technology, it's also removed us from having to have human connection, made it more convenient to not be intimate.
It's a really weird thing, modern divorce. I found out I was getting divorced on television. That was kind of weird.
