People try much less hard to make a marriage work than they used to fifty years ago. Divorce is easier.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes divorce is better than marriage.
Marriage takes work - it doesn't just happen.
People don't get married to get divorced. Maybe people weren't meant to be together forever.
It's so easy to grow apart; marriage takes work.
I think that the divorce rate's over 50% for a reason. I don't think people are taking enough time now to really see if they can make it work and live together.
It works much like a marriage, an old marriage. You've got to work on it.
It had not occurred to me that marriage requires the same effort as a career. And unlike a career, marriage requires a joint effort.
But to sustain a marriage for 50 years, you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says, 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more.'
I didn't think marriage worked. I thought everybody who was married was secretly miserable - that it was something they just put up with for their children.
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.
