:pc:Look, in many cases men and women are choosing to cohabitate or to have children without getting marriage, and the traditional roles and expectations associated with marriage have indeed shifted. Presumably there has been a decline in marriage rates and a rise in divorce rates/separations, etc., in these United States, etc. Let's then assume that marriage isn't for everyone! There perhaps are many reasons why men and women get married, etc. Let's assume that for "love" is the number one reason that most will state as their reasons for getting marriage. Do all of you agree? Remember the bonds of marriage, etc., I find that there is something very special about intending to stay together for life, and or until death do, we part, etc. One of the biggest decisions men and women make in life today as in yesterday, is whether to marry. You meet Mr./Ms. right, and your gut says, "I want to spend the rest of my life with this person." But in speaking from experience from those that have been married, etc. Some folks have been married several times or more, etc. I have witnessed even today folks being engaged for years with children and still haven't married, while still cohabitating, etc. Again, with all these changed attitudes, social norms, etc. "Is marriage actually worth it today?"

This article suggests that marriages are up and divorce rates are down :


So based on it, seems more people are thinking it is worth it.

What may be worth it for one, is not worth it for another.

Do you think it is worth it?

:pc: In many ways I do, as I am widowed, and marriage was great. Yet... today I view some men and women that have been engaged for years, and cohabiting, having children, etc. Some never do eventually get married, etc. Thousands are just "common-law" etc. Mostly older adults remained married, etc. With some of the younger folks there's far too much drama associated with marriage/relationships. Btw, one of our biggest decisions is whether to marry. As some folks have experienced being marriage several times, etc. You were right when saying marriage is not right for everyone. Yet it can be a wonderful and fulfilling experience for many people. While many after a series of bad relationships, including divorce, will say "Never again!" Again... today many couples choose to cohabitate or to have children without getting married, etc. Well, so much for changing attitudes and values. But again, for me "it was worth it".
