Is e idea of marriage outdated,couples stay together 4 e sake of kids?
These days, for every marriage almost half ends in divorce. Ppl no longer treat marriage as a ’till-death-do-us-part’ arrangement unlike e past. Instead when things get rough, divorce is a very viable option because a divorcee no longer faces any social stigmas associated wif a failed marriage.
But if divorce is becoming rampant and marriage doesn’t mean u have 2 stick wif a person through thick and thin, is there any more meaning to marriage? In fact, nowadays many couples just choose 2 live together without even bothering 2 get married.
In many relationships, ppl grow out of love. They change along e way with 1 partner drifting further and further away from e other on an emotional level.
But many also choose to stick together and go through the motions because of the kids. They may not adore each other anymore but because they share the same priority, happiness is sacrificed to function as a family unit.
It is a sad situation but I think it is also a reality among many married couples today. *Sigh*
