Many times it can be heard that marriages and life in general is not what it used to be. In most cases, it thought to be much worse. The purity, honesty, and goodness of life and relationships is not there.
Many have tried to analyze exactly what it is that tears apart today’s marriages.
There is now an increasingly number of marriages that do not work. More and more couples are separating and divorcing. Fewer and fewer children are beginning school with their biological parent still married. So what is it about our society that is no longer fostering a loving and happy family?
One theory that I have about why relationships and marriages do not work out and last is due to selfishness. Our children are being raised in a world where we focus everything on them. We are now all about me society.
At one point in time this attitude would have never been acceptable.
Partners go into marriage focused on how it will directly affect them and how their mate should treat them and what their mate should do for them. With everything focused on yourself you can lose sight of what your part is in the marriage for the other person. What is it that you should be doing? What does your mate need form the relationship?
People assume that their marriage should cater to them and give them unconditional happiness. While your marriage should definitely give you happiness, it is not your marriage’s responsibility to make you happy. You must also be a contributor to your happiness. In a marriage you cannot sit back and wait for things to be placed into your lap. There is now another person in your life to consider. You must also think about what make him or her happy and how the two of you can find happiness together.
