I agree that is nothing new. But it seems to be more prevalent and more "forgiven," if that makes sense. Where is the accountability?
There has been a major shift in the reasons people get married in today’s time. Unlike in past generations where a woman got married because of economic reasons, pressured by parents or it was the thing to do, they are now getting married for love. Women are now empowered to be more educated and with far more career paths than ever before.
Believe it or not the divorce rate has stabilized and actually starting toward a downward trend in modern industrialized nations, including the US. The relationship between spouses haves become mutual when it comes to the ability to create wealth. It is now, as it once was before the invention of the plow to where woman then lost need to gather food and became subservient to the man who then was the hunter.
The problem now is that I believe most adults of the age to marriage don’t know what love, or better yet, know what love is not.
Marriage is like two people swimming through life and holding hands. One can drown the other or save the other. Sometimes you do have to just go for mere self preservation. If they learn how to swim with one another they become stronger by the fact of just being together. It’s a beautiful thing to behold.
Neither show the element of setting a good example.
Why is the media so engrossed with these acts. I think
the media show find things that set a good wholesome example for our younger people and adults, who are mental lightweights.
The secret is keeping life from becoming routine. First, you got to have a good sex life. If you eat chicken every night, eventually you get tired of chicken. But, if you make the chicken a different way so it doesn’t look and taste the same, you won’t get tired of the chicken. Sometimes the hen likes to be slow roasted and sometimes fried and other times it must be chicken salad. Keep the hen happy and you won’t have time to strut around the hen house.
Second, you got to communicate. That means listening as well as talking. Develop some time dedicated to just talking. What’s on your mind, how do you feel, what’s new, anything worrying you; that kind of stuff.
Third, you got to have alone time. Air to breath!
Plan thing to do together, like trips. Never get trapped in watching TV together though. It’s OK every once in a while but too often will force you into the Lifetime channel and all those female movie attractions of romance and soap opera. Women forget that we like full contact sports and drama with action. If we must watch romance, give us full contact!
Probably one of the most important things is that you must be friends. If you don’t like each other then you can’t love each other. You start out by trusting each other. You can’t be the jealous type. Jealously only makes the cow look in the other pasture or makes the bull jump the fence. And in the end if you still want to see if you got what it takes. Hire a professional. At least you can find out if you really do have anything left to crow about. Just kidding folks.
Life together is not a one way street. It’s an expressway. Learn when to get on and when to get off. Learn to keep it between the lines and save a little money as you get older. Viagra is expensive.
OK, I’m finished with my “Larry the Cable Guy” impersonation. Now I know why I never made it as a comedian. All humor aside. If you’re going to have a happy life with each other, you got to keep God involved in your life. Without him, everything is impossible.
The issue is the hypocrisy of those who believe that people don't make stupid choices and that God does not forgive them if they make it right with the ones involved and God. All sins are equal.
Culture plays a major role in the sanctity of marriage. For example the difference in people who never get marriage is on the rise: Black men (43.3%), Black women (41.9%), White men (27.4%), White women (20.7). Many black folks believe marriage is for white people but this is also beginning to change. More black people are starting to tie the knot and less white people are deciding not to. The example of a successful marriage in the white house is starting to have some change in black culture in the area of matrimony.
Gee Wiz, and he done it in only 6 months. Wonder why other successful marriages didn't do anything? Are you trying to say its a color thing?
Just asking.....
Notice that word "TEST".......
Might want to think on that one.
All I know is he was in a position he thought he could get away with his horniness!!
Now what would you do for a klondite bar??
