....Which is why divorce rates are at an all-time high. The institution of marriage is falling apart slowly, as more people are realizing that it isn't the bread-and-butter it's made out to be. There are finances, social networks, personal dreams, family demands, infidelity, and a whole host of other reasons for divorcing or just staying single.
This, IMO, just goes to show that because we have such an advanced lifestyle, we are spending more time contemplating things the little things in life that make us happy or depressed. I'd say that 50 years ago, you would get married, stay loyal, and go about doing the business that you need to do to stay alive and prosper. Nowadays, our social and work lives have melded to the point where there is no clear dichotomy, and we are prioritizing that which gets us through the day much differently.
