because they married to give birth,be life partners, stay together and die at each others lap, and not to experience an adventure of marvellous sex hours.

Movies and fairytale stories have blinded people to the reality of marriage. People expect it to be a bed of roses when it's not. It's as hard as a floor and our grandparents had to sleep on it, literally speaking. Nothing like "this isn't working out" or "you're not here for me", once they were in it, it was for life. Our generation is just too lazy, technological advancement has made everything easy to the extent that people expect their marriage to be same.

Because there were no social networks then

This is the answer but unfurtunately, you have no likes. Almost every woman lost confidence on her self and depends on other peoples opinion but the devil is always their to offer his opinion and thats is social network..

Strange!

Modern marriages have both the husband and wife either wishing for death or divorce as their only alternatives, why marry if you hate your fellow human?

Nor be by force nah.

The modern man has chosen to deviate from the laws of nature...

Marriage is now viewed as an activity not a lifestyle...

Self satisfaction at the detriment of the other party...

Sexual 'overzealousness'...

Materialism and so on...

Welcome to the modern world...

In the olden days, when something is broken, we fix it.
Nowadays, when something is broken, we throw it away, and buy a new one.

That's your answer.

For me, the question is not abt why they lasted longer. My question is were both parties happier than today's couples?

How long a marriage lasted is no proof of a successful marriage, when you cannot ascertain dat both parties were truly happy with the union.

How many under-aged/teenage girls married in d north file for divorce afta 5 or 10 yrs? Will u say day are happy becos dia marriages last long?

Its like staying in a job u hate while searching for a beta job becos u cant risk staying idle if u quit and u dont know how long it will take u to get anoda job. So if ur still in dat job, does dat mean ur enjoying it?

why did the olden days scam last longer and better than the modern day ones?

Because biatches of today have become more materialistic,money hungry,dehumanised and less affectionate than ladies of old who held traditional values dearly.Back then it was faith,family and fairplay but now its all about fortune and fame.

Hmm! Just thinking outside the box.

Thank you there were a lot if unhappy marriages then however most couldn't leave. No 1. Women were not financially empowered so even if the man was beating her everyday she had no choice but to stay. 2 any one who divorced was turned into an outcast so if the man was unhappy he would simply marry more wives and the woman would bear her own unhappiness by turning her attention to her kids.

Doesn't necessarily mean older marriages were better, just that divorce was more frowned upon then so people had no choice but to stay in bad marriages. Now, the option of divorce/separation is readily available so people can leave any time.
