They are three good points, but they all amount to poor communication. I really think communication is the most important factor in making a marriage work. I don’t think that so called experts are much help, I think the couple need to address their problems together openly and honestly.

You can never get enough communication in a successful marriage. Most married couple think that they are all done at it when they have been married for a long time and gradually causes the marriage to fall apart.

I don’t believe that we are encouraged to simply change partners when things get rough. I think the problems actually lies in the idea that we need to have a mate who is another version of ourselves.

The idea of a “soulmate” has done more to ruin relationships that anything I can think of. There is no such thing as the spouse who is going to be the perfect fit all of the time. It is THAT expectation that does more to ruin relationships than anything else.

justontime, relationships are too casual nowadays and things that were important back then are no longer today.

It’s actually kind of disappointing because we have bought into this life of convenience where we can change our partners whenever we want to for whatever reason.

Liza, I think our society is being taught to give up too easily instead of fighting for what is right.

Sometimes people take the easy way out instead.

Molly, we were much the same and we faced some difficult situations but we rlied on each other and came through stronger.

I’m not sure about classes, I think we should be encouraging people to marry instead of having them drift in and out of casual relationships and producing children along the way,

Even individuals may love each other, at times they may not be willing and mature enough to embrace the differences about each other for the good of the relationship.

I agree that some lessons should be given about relationships and especially marriage, I believed that my life would have taken off in a positive fairy tale kind of way, it didn’t happen….

My husband and I married as soon as we were legal age and we experienced angry parents, puzzled friends that shied away, and a whole world telling us in no uncertain terms that we were stupid for what we’d done and headed for disaster. Well, every one of them were WRONG. This may sound strange, but I’m of the opinion that the way to build a strong marriage is to have the whole world against you. It made us strong and reliant on ourselves only.
