Debunking Marriage Myths! (quite Interesting) by Nobody: 4:46pm On Mar 04, 2011
Hi All, I found the below article online. I thought to share and see the opinion of peeps on this forum regarding the write-up. Cheers! smiley

Marriage myth 4:

The myth of the ‘marriage-go-round,’ says you can hop on and off marriages when you’re bored, discontented, stressed out, or get a better offer.

Today we’re conditioned to instant gratification. If we don’t like the rules we’ll take our ball to another playground. We’re a ‘disposable’ society; whatever doesn’t perform satisfactorily will be replaced rather than repaired.

Tragically, we transfer this mentality to our relationships and replace the people in our lives who don’t play the game our way. Each generation becomes less likely to be tolerant, patient, hard-working, flexible and creative in marriage, and more likely to trade in what they’re unwilling to work on.

The myth of the marriage-go-round tells us we don’t have to grapple with our marital issues. Just replace it! But the truth reveals that the myth doesn’t work. Over 50% of first marriages end in divorce, 65% of second ones, and more than 70% of third ones.

Clearly, when it comes to marriage, the more we do it the worse we get at it! In fact, with few exceptions, the painful numbers indicate that statistically you have a better chance of finding happiness in your current marriage with all its challenges than if you move on to another one.

God’s way is your best option. Always! When He says, ‘…[whom] God hath joined together, let no man put asunder’ (Matthew 19:6), He intends that in working and growing through the obstacles and opportunities of your marriage, you’ll become a better partner and end up building a happier marriage!

Really?
And 70% of educated black women are single, one in every 10 black men are in jail, 25% bisexuals and 30% homosexuals? cheesy
People have not recovered from the catastrophic after-shocks of one, then they think they can jump to the next one?

Easier said than done.
Who wants to leave one psycho to inherit the baggage of another? undecided

Sorry o.
God has absolutely nothing to do with this. God was never married and Jesus his son was conceived 'immaculately'.
Go figure! wink

Tisha don't tish me nonsense!

Common sense rules.
The swamp is NEVER greener on the outside.
Ammo stay right here. kiss
