The Tenth Tuesday We Talk About Marriage
Mitch believes his generation struggles with commitment. Too many people get married only to separate a few years later. Morrie feels sorry for Mitch's generation because he believes its important for people to find a loving relationship with someone because culture does not provide that. According to Morrie, people today are too selfish to take part in a real loving relationship, or they rush into marriage only to divorce months later. Those people don't know what they want in a partner nor do they know who they are themselves.

Morrie and Mitch are truly right when it comes to this topic. So many more people should first not go out and just marry someone, but should first get to know that person. This is also why (page 143) Morrie wants to speak with Mitch's wife to hear from her about and Mitch and then that is why she came next Tuesday with Mitch. During the talk with Janine ( Mitch's wife) and Mitch, Morrie this time is also learning as well. He is learning why they have a happy relationship with no problems. I do also agree with Morrie and what he has said about his topic. Due to my experience as a young middle school person, I was already ahead of people. Usually you can tell that a person does or does not like you by the way they act to that other person. Morrie has also commented on this because most people today think it's cool to have a someone in their life and show them of and finally walk away. Honesty though, today most only judge other peoples covers and ignore what's written on the pages. This goes along with Morrie saying people don't know what they want in a person because that person just wants to impress that other person and like them, therefore they do not know what they want in life because they are to busy sucking up to that one person they don't even really know. Ounce again, I would have to definitely agree with Morrie.
ReplyDeleteThey both have the right idea on this topic, and it is true. However some controversy comes from this because of the laws set in certain states. Not every happily loving couple can get married in this time period. People do stupid things and one of them is marrying too early in life only to find that it wasn't working. True love has no end, but now has limits. I believe that marriage should only be planned when you know you truly love someone.
ReplyDeleteMorrie is right. Today's generation may never have the commitment and love that they should have. A committed relationship is one of the most amazing things today, but because of this culture and because of the ways in which many of the children are raised, They may never feel the warmth and happiness a long-term, committed marriage can have. When the parents divorce, they leave their child confused and lonely. If they have no children, then it is still saddening because they rushed into a marriage and was unable to last for eternity as he promised in their wedding vows.
ReplyDeleteThe subject of the Tenth Tuesday is the struggle for the commitment of marriage of the current generations. This because they rush into relationship and into marriage in such a short time that they do not know the other person as well as they thought they did. This can lead to a divorce just as quick as the marriage. Mitch believes that this is extremely true in his generation because people in his generation will hold a relationship for 6 months and then will propose. Mitch stands out of his generation because he waited 7 years before he proposed with his wife and they are still together. This proves that in order to have forever lasting marriage you need to take it slow and do not rush.
ReplyDeleteLove is something you should never rush into. Morrie is completely correct when he talks about the rules of marriage. Many people who rush into marriage usually get divorced because they really don't know the person they want to marry as well as they think they do. I believe that Mitch was taking the right precautions by waiting 7 years to propose to his wife. Marriage should never be planned unless you truly know that you love someone and are ready to commit to that special someone.
ReplyDeleteThere is no reason to get married right away. We should take are time with the people we love not get married as soon as we can. When your only together for a little you don't get to know them that much and soon as You know it your divorced. You should at least date each other for a couple years before you get married. So you get to know your partner more and get along and you lasted pretty long dating too. Mitch did good he waited 7 years before he proposed. You should wait until you know that they are the one
ReplyDeleteWhen you love someone, you would wait for them forever. In the generation we have today, so many people are getting married when they aren't even shure they even love each other. They may believe they do, but unless you would be willing to wait forever for the other person, love isn't true, at least to me it wouldn't be. Also, you must have a belief in the importance of marriage, just like Morrie says.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Morrie when he comments on the fact that our generation doesn't have enough commitment. I realize that this book was written in 1997, but I believe the same is true today. I am obviously not married, but I know many people whose parents are divorced. People get married at too young of an age, and they do not even truly love the person they are marrying. Marriage and love are two very different things, but together they make a wonderful thing. I agree with Morrie on the aspect that our culture does not give us a loving relationship. In my opinion, the problem today is that young people are getting married when they do not even know what they want in a life-long partner. In tough times, like Morrie is going through, I believe it would be essential and beneficial to have a husband or wife there for you. When you're sick in bed, your friends aren't going to be there for you, but your husband or wife would be. When I become older I want to live my life with the same person without getting a divorce. Thanks to Morrie, I believe it is extremely important to wait until the right time to get married. You have to be committed before you get married, and even more important, you have to believe the importance of your marriage.
ReplyDeleteMarriage is a big topic for Mitch and Morrie. This is because Morrie describes that everyone gets into something serious to fast and does not have an actual commitment. A lot of people do not really wait to get married until they know its serious, most people now a days get married in their twenties from when they are right out of college. This causes them to question their marriage within a few years of getting married.
ReplyDeleteMarriage seems like a long way off for all of us at the high school. That still doesn't mean that we can't learn what it means.
ReplyDeleteMarriage is more than a passion or some kind of fairy-tale love story. It's a pact, a commitment. When you say "I do," you are agreeing to everything. Those two words will follow you everywhere from that point on. Marriage starts before the ceremony in a church. It begins with what's inside. Both your mind and heart have to be determined to assist, love, and care for your partner. Sure, you might fight over who gets the TV for Sunday Night for years (The Walking Dead vs. Sunday Night Football?) but a small argument shouldn't deter your love for your husband or wife. If you are truly committed to your partner, then you'll stick with them until they breath their final death. My parents got a wedding gift that was engraved with this:
To have and to hold,
from this day forward,
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
and sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
until death do us part.
That's the true meaning of marriage. Everytime I look at it, I imagine what went through my parents' minds that day.
Love is the key to having a long lasting, great marriage. Without the love and commitment to do so, your marriage will be ruined. Morrie is right and so is Mitch, people rush into relationships too fast and forget to realize who they truly loved in all that time. If you want to fall in love and get married, get to know the person first, because if you don’t they start to turn into somewhat of a monster. You feel like you don’t know your so-called “lover”. All it takes is care, love, and the obligation to get to know someone and live life, the way you've always dreamed of. I may be just a kid, but when I look at my parents, so happy, smiling with all of the joy they have in their hearts, I know for a fact they love each other. They took 3 years to get to know each other before marriage, not 3 months. It takes a lot to be married and truly in love.
ReplyDeleteDuring a wedding ceremony, the bride and groom recite promises to each other. In this generation, those words seem to mean nothing. Are they really meaning them, or just saying the words instructed with little to no thought? If one pleads to defend the fact that the words recited are meaningful, why are there so many divorcees? Agreeing with Morrie, we seem to lack commitment. Marriage has become “the thing to do” when you’re in your twenties. I, too, believe that marriage should be encouraged because in the long run, having that special someone by your side will be significant. Obviously this doesn’t mean go on eHarmony and pick a random person to marry. The love has to be divine. Marriage requires commitment. And with commitment is responsibility. In our generation, we need to focus more on commitment in marriage. Don’t get married for the heck of it because you don’t want to be a cat woman. All marriages face controversy all because of false commitment. It’s better to be a cat woman than get married and end up getting divorced because of some stupid reason in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteMarriage is the unity of a man and a woman until “death due them part.” So many people today question what marriage really is. Many get married, and in no time at all, they get divorced. There is a reason you say “until death due us part.” I think people tend to forget that they gave an oath not to leave their husband or wife. When you take that oath, you are promising that no matter what happens, you will never leave your spouse. You promise to always love them and care for them. Morrie says, “In this culture, it’s so important to find a loving relationship with someone because so much of the culture does not give you that.” Not everyone you meet will be kind and loving, of course. It is important to find a loving and caring spouse that shares the same values as you. You need to both be totally committed to the promises you make to one another. You can make up for the lack of love from the rest of the world, if you find the right person. All couples have tough times, and you may not always “feel” in love with the other person. At these times, it is important to remember that love is a decision, and not a feeling. My great-grandparents were married for sixty-three years before my great-grandfather passed away. They provided me with a wonderful example of what a true and loving marriage looks like. In addition, my parents have given me a wonderful sense of security because I know that they are committed to one another, and will never break up our family. Marriage is the glue that holds families together, and families are the cornerstone of our country. As the family goes, so goes the culture and the country.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with Morrie on this topic and how everyone should get to experience love and marriage. It is also true that people nowadays just rush into things instead of taking their time, leading to hate and divorce. Morrie very much loves and respects his wife Charlotte, whom he has been with for forty-four years just as Mitch does with his own wife. The key to a loving relationship is not just trust but also waiting. There is no such thing as waiting too long to propose. That is why Mitch waited seven years to propose to Janine so that he would be sure that he could love her forever. Nowadays people rush into relationships too fast leading to divorce because they never gave one another enough time to plan out their lives. Marriage is an important factor of life. It can teach you how to love and it can also teach a lesson.
ReplyDeleteWhen we marry someone, we have to be able to give commitment to that person, in that marriage. I believe in the current generations that we don't really put much thought into what the preacher is saying before the I DO'S come into play. Since we now live in a generation where the # sign used to be called a NUMBER SIGN, is now called a HASHTAG, and the words YOLO and SWAG are now popular in our vocabulary, I feel that the after-party, and the honeymoon are more put into thought than the real commitment, rather than how their future is really going to play out. Marriage isn't really about how the bride's dress is going to look, or how straight the groom's tuxedo is, it's about how strong of a connection the two have. I agree with Morrie, I feel that some people are getting married too early, and not realizing that maybe they don't truly love that person.
ReplyDeleteIn this chapter they talk mostly about the problems people are facing with marriage now days. Morrie believes that people rush into marriage. I dont think it is so much of a certain amount of time knowing or dating the person that means your ready for marriage, i think it is how well you know the person and how well the person knows you. A problem with marriage is people dont know what they are getting into and dont know the commitment that is needed. Like morrie said in a previous chapter you need to be prepared for things.
ReplyDeleteI don't really here with Morrie on this subject. Commitment is a big thing in people's lives today. With all the backstabbers, liars, and jerks out there it's almost impossible to trust anyone! But during marriage, you have different feelings throughout it. And before marriage, when you feel like this is the one by the love and care they surround you with, could change. People change. And sometimes when that happens, it's almost impossible to see the person you once loved and called you theirs. Commitment is a tough thing. And we will always struggle with it. We all need to learn how to love just one. And stay loyal. But it's hard if your loved one changes.
ReplyDeleteMarriage can be a crazy thing. You get married only to realize that you don't actually love that person anymore. Look at Kim Kardashian. She had a huge wedding that cost a fortune only to throw it away 72 days later. If you ask me, she was stupid to get married when she didn't even want to in the first place. You have to really take the time to get to know someone. Even if you date someone for years you might not love them as much as you thought did. That sort of happened to my sister but I really don't want to get into that. Anyways, love is not something to take for granted because it can affect you in many ways.
ReplyDeleteMarriage is a sacred union between two people who are joined by a bond to become one. In a wedding ceremony the bride and groom both share their vows, some hand written others repeat after the priest. I believe ones vows should come to the heart in order for a strong, committed and long-term marriage to last. Yet some can come from the heart but can soon fade away after a few years into the marriage. All marriages have their flaws, nobody is perfect. Every couple has their arguments but they resolve them easily if they love each other enough. To me the vows should not be broken it will be only at death we will part. I believe what Morrie said “I think marriage is very important things to do, and you’re missing hell of a lot if you don’t try it!” Like anything we encounter in life there are rules, rules for success and rules for a successful marriage. Respect each other, trust each other and compromise for the other, but most important, communicate with each other.
ReplyDeleteToday’s generation rushes into commitment. They will rush into marriage with someone they know nothing about just so that they feel they have someone, when in reality they know nothing about themselves. If you know nothing about yourself, how will you be able to know what you want in a partner? Many people today think that they can marry someone and get to know them after they are married, and I mean, you can, but what if it turns out that you don’t like who that person turns out to be? Then you deal with divorce, or even cheating. In the long run I believe that it is better to get to know the person beforehand so you know what you are getting into and you can love that person before you make the commitment that could possible effect you for the rest of your life.
ReplyDeleteMarriage is a huge thing to commit to because most people promise to be together as long as they are alive. Many people are very afraid of this commitment and do not believe they are ready. Morrie believes people rush into marriage because they are afraid they won't be ready. Morrie's point is that you need to really know the person you are going to marry, and most people don't even know themselves fully. And I agree with him completely. You should most definitely know yourself and what you want before you commit to a marriage.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with Morrie's views on marriage. When you're young and you're dating, you have no idea who you are and no matter how much you may love someone, if they aren't compatible with you things just won't work out. Unless you are ready to change this persons diaper at 90 years old, you shouldn't marry them. Unless you are willing to hold their hair back and wipe the vomit off their mouth when they have the flu then you don't care for them enough to make a big commitment such as marriage. The person you marry should be your best friend. They should be the person you come home and complain to every night. You should marry someone that you feel makes you a better person. It's really kind of selfish to marry someone just because you feel like it. Unless you're absolutely sure you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you shouldn't make a commitment to them, because in the end you just end up hurting them. If you really love someone, you'd never hurt them.
ReplyDeleteMarriage is a very important thing in life. Some people seem to abuse it but some people cherish it. In our generation, people are just getting married just to do it. People aren't truly getting to know enough about there partner and it ends up ending in a divorce. Most people are scared of commitment. People feel like they have to just settle down and marry someone as quickly as possible and they forget about the real reasons to get married. In our generation it is so hard for people to find love because people are looking in all the wrong places for all the wrong reasons.
ReplyDeleteMorrie pretty much has it all right about marriage. Our generation really struggles with marriage and the commitment which comes along with it. Morrie states people are either too selfish to take part in a real loving relationship or they rush into a marriage to fast. When I get to the point of thinking about marriage, the last thing I want to do is rush into to it. In my opinion, I do not think people are selfish when their marriage goes wrong. I just think people do not understand what marriage is. You must understand your future spouse and the big commitment you are about to make. I also like the "rules" of true love and marriage Morrie describes. Morrie said if you do not respect your spouse, if you do not know how to compromise, if you can't talk openly to about what goes on between your spouse, and if you don't have common values, you are going to struggle in a marriage. Every "rule" Morrie described makes complete sense to me. Also, do not forget you wedding vows!!! Your making a promise to each other which is not to be broken. You are not suppose to say your vows just to say them, you are suppose to mean them.
ReplyDeleteMarriage is the formal union of a man and a woman, typically recognized by law, by which they become husband and wife. It is a big commitment and is a hard thing. Not everyone can handle the pressure of marriage. If marriage were easy many more people that love each other would commit to it. You have to work things out when things aren't going well. That's why you have to be strong when things get rough. Now and days I think that people do get married just because they can. I don't think that's right. You shouldn't just do something because you can, but because you want to.
ReplyDeleteToday marriage ends up in divorce more often than not. The people today struggle with the commitment. It has become something troublesome. Morrie is married to a woman named Charlotte. He says that marriage is important, you need someone to be there for you. Charlotte is there for him every day and night, helping him through this sickness. Marriage can only work if the couple respects each other. You have to be able to compromise, and be able to talk to each other openly. Morrie says the greatest value is "Your belief in the importance of your marriage." For marrige to to be sucessful, you both have to work at it, which is something we dont like to do, but you have to.
ReplyDeleteMorrie says that marriage is being rushed in this day and age. Morrie says that you must respect your wife, know how to compromise with her, talk to each other, and have the same set of values as your wife otherwise your in trouble (pg. 149). "It is so important to find a loving relationship with someone (pg.148)." I agree with what Morrie says. Marriage is a great commitment as long as you do it for the right reasons.
ReplyDeleteLove is probably the hardest commitment you can make. Once you become married, you will be living with your wife/husband for the (hopefully) the rest of your life. That's why you must be 100 percent positive that the person you are getting married to is "the one", because if not, the marriage will end with divorce. That's why you must not rush into everything involving relationships. You must take the time to get to know the person that you want to love, and you must "like' them before you can "love" them. If not, it will also probably end badly. Back in the day, love was a word that actually meant something sentimental. Now its just a word to substitute a crush. The word seems to not have a meaning anymore. Its pretty sad.
ReplyDeleteDuring the tenth Tuesday Morrie and Mitch meet the talk about marriage. At one point in their conversation, Morrie says "I've learned this much about marriage, you get tested." What Morrie says about marriage is very true. Marriage isn't easy. You have to learn to do many things like compromise and respect each other. Being able to share all of your thoughts with your spouse is another thing you have to learn to do. Also your values in life must be alike. If you don't feel like certain things are more important than others that your spouse does you are going to run into trouble. Marriage isn't easy, therefore you need to learn to do some of these things.
ReplyDeleteMany people have trouble with their marriage. They get married, and then after a year or two they will get a divorce. I agree with Morrie on the importance of this topic. I think that many couples who end up getting a divorce probably were not ready for the commitment, or just rushed into marriage not getting to know each other well enough. This hurts people in the fact that marriage leads to a family; and family is a very important thing in our lives. On that note, having a successful marriage is very important to me and I hope to have one one day.
ReplyDeleteOn the tenth Tuesday, Morrie and Mitch talk about marriage. I think that people think they know each other and act like they love each other too fast. If they get married it would more than likely lead to a divorce. People need to take it slow and think about the commitment of marriage. To have a successful marriage you need to respect each other, trust each other, and to communicate with each other without those three things a marriage is sure to fail. One day I want to get married and have a family one day but I'm going to take my time to make sure its something I'm ready for and something that I want to do with my life at that time.
ReplyDeleteMarrige can be should be something wonderful. It isn't always that way for everyone though. Lots of marriges end in divorces. And in my opinion it shouldn't be that way. The person you marry should be the person you will be with for the rest of your life. Some people ten to rush into marrige, and then it doesn't turn out well. I believe that you should take time to get to know the person and make sure that you are ready to commit to them. When you get married you make a promise to that person to stay with them forever. So before you get married you should be sure that it is what you want.
ReplyDeleteOn The Tenth Tuesday Morrie and Mitch talk about marriage. I think that marriage should be a good thing and if you get married to someone then that means you love that person very much. Sadly some people's marriages don't work out. Whenever Morrie talks about having rules when you are married, I agree with him on all these rules. In marriage I agree you have to respect the each other, if you don't then I don't think that the marriage is going to work out very well. If you cant talk to each other openly then I think there would be a lot of secrets that are hid from the other, then that would soon turn into trust issues.
ReplyDeleteOn the tenth Tuesday Morrie and Mitch talked about how important marriage is and some rules he knows about it. He says that he is sorry for Mitch's generation and their problem with commitment. He says that people rush into marriage and don't get to know their partner, which is one of his rules. I feel that Morrie is right that people need to know the other person. I also think people who do that are not smart and they do not think things through. Marriage requires knowledge of the other person and to trust them.
ReplyDeleteMarriage is a big part of life, many people make that commitment every year, not all of them last. Most marriages end in divorce sadly. Some people get married at such a young ago or even after a couple months of dating, don't rush into it there is no need to. Most of those couple end up getting divorced because they think they "love" each other, but no, not all the time. If your young and get married and it lasts, your a lucky person and you both truly love each other. But i believe you should take it slow and really get to know the person and see if you really wanna be with them for the rest of your life. You have to have respect for each other to really make it last.
ReplyDeleteThe tenth Tuesday is spent talking about the subject of marriage. Mitch begins with how he has seen countless couples happy on the day of the wedding, and then a couple months later he sees the groom at a restaurant with another woman, explaing the divorce he just had. This is seen many times in our culture, and I agree with Mitch and Morrie when they say that people rush into marriages before they know truly who they are marrying. Morrie says how there WILL be problems if there's no respect in the relationship, if you can't talk to your person, or if you can't compromise. All of these things are true and very accurate. I believe that a marriage will not work if you don't know anything about the person you're going to marry. Morrie ends the chapter with what he believes is the most important thing for a marriage. He finds that your belief in the importance of the marriage is sacred. I find this to be very true. You have to support the marriage and want it to happen so that it WILL happen.
ReplyDeleteOn the 10th Tuesday, Morrie talks about marriage. Many marriages do not last long in our generation. People are getting married right after high school, and they don't even know what they want. Morrie says this generation lacks commitment. This is true. When you get married you have to say vows. You are supposed to mean what you say, but I guess a lot of people do not anymore. A marriage will work if you want it to. You have to have belief in your marriage. Having a life long partner is very important. It is like having a best friend who is always there for you.
ReplyDeleteOn the tenth Tuesday, Mitch brings his wife Connie along. This leads to the talk about marriage. A lot of people now a days rush their relationship and end up getting married even before they finish college. Then months later they get a divorce. In my opinion I think your first marriage should be your only marriage. You need to get to know the person though before doing anything to serious. Make sure you are able to talk about things openly, and have respect for your partner. If you don't have these things trouble waits ahead for your relationship. "Love each other or perish." To have a long lasting relationship is a wonderful thing. Your husband or wife can be there for you on nights when your sick, or just can't sleep. Sure you have friends, but a friend won't always be there for you. The biggest value in your marriage is the importance of it. As long as you don't keep secrets from your marriage and have trust and the other important facts about marriage, you will have a great relationship.
ReplyDeleteSadly, in our generation marriages never last. Like Morrie said, "But poor kids today, either they're too selfish to take part in a real loving relationship, or they rush into a marriage and then six months later, they get divorced." Morrie is right, people in our generation don't take vows you say when you stand next to each other at the altar seriously. When you say those vows you are vowing to love and be with that person for the rest of your life through everything life throws at you. That person you vowed to is like your best friend that is with you every single day and that one person you can turn to for anything. If you marry the right person and have as much faith in your marriage as Morrie and Charlotte did then your marriage will be successful. Even though your marriage may have disagreements, you have to learn to come to an agreement and make things work.
ReplyDeleteMarriage is a fragile. In our genoration, Morrie says that it is important to be in a loving relationship in which both people truly care for each other. Morrie feels bad for us becuse a good relationship is hard to come by now a days. He says that you shouldnt be in a rush to get mrried, nor should you wait to long to get married. In his point of view, there is the perfect momeny to get married and you will know when that moment comes. He wishes the best of luck to Mitch and his wife, and to who ever might be married out there.
ReplyDeleteBecause Morrie can take a step back from his own life’s struggles, he is able to focus on what is going on around him. He is seeing all of the heartbreak people go through. However, it is no surprise because people today rush into a committed relationship without even realizing it. In most of the cases where people think that they are “in love” and waste no time in getting married, the bond that the couple thought they once had fades away. However, if you take time to get to know your partner, and if things are still going well, then odds are that the marriage will be successful.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with Morrie on this. As we are young, we want to date, and we know little of ourselves, and what we truly want. When you're 12, and you have a boyfriend, you know nothing of what you want. You just want to show your boyfriend off to your friends. But, it's different as you age on. A few years later, you're discovering yourself, and discovering how you want to be treated, and you're picking that one guy you thought was "hot". When you're 14, 15, and 16, you start to move into more of an "I love you" stage, where you'd do anything for "love". But, listen to me when I tell you this, I've been used and abused, and it's all because I was stupid enough to have NO sense of control of myself, and do whatever it was that the other person wanted. I've also ruined an amazing relationship that I had with someone gorgeous, with an amazing personality. All because I had love over my sense of control of myself.
ReplyDeleteAs you get even older, 17, 18, and 19, you're going to be moving on your own. You'll have to fend for yourself eventually, and sooner or later, you're going to come across that one "guy" or "girl", who you think is "absolute perfection". And he may be, but it's all in how he treats you. If you've been dating for a year, and you want to marry him, you're moving too fast. Wait a little while. You want to get to know someone before you go and marry them, because if you don't get to know him, you'll end up on that show "Who The Bleep Did I Marry?" on The Discovery Channel. So, take it slow, because if you don't truly love someone for who they are, you're never going to get anywhere. You're just going to end up fighting over everything small thing, and you'll eventually get a divorce months later. No one wants that, right?! Nope. So, take it slow.
On the tenth Tuesday, Mitch brings his wife along to visit Morrie with him. Morrie explains to Mitch how important marriage is in life. I believe that what Morrie is saying is that being Married shouldn't be passed up in life, take it seriously. He feels that separation is unnatural and that it breaks the connections between two people. I feel that marriage is important because it means someone will always be there for you throughout your life no matter what and should last for years.
ReplyDeleteMarriage to me is commitment honestly. On top of that it is responsibility and so many other things. Marriage seems to be one of the things that a lot of people do not take too seriously. Well, maybe they do but what I mean is that they end up getting into a divorce. When you marry someone you have to stay committed and prepared for the tasks that come with it. It's almost like a job it seems like. I don't know that much about it but what i do know is that it should take a lot of love to get married.
ReplyDeleteIn this day and age, commitment means nothing! Young people hardly know each other when they get married. It's actually really stupid to waste all your time and money on a wedding, for it to end up in a divorce. Many do not understand what there vows actually mean. The couple have to learn how to deal with each others faults and the little arguments. You also have to be loyal to one another. You must committee to each other rather become tired and move on with in a couple years.
ReplyDeleteYou have to know when you are ready for marriage. You can't rush into it or you won't be ready. During the wedding you promise to be loyal and never leave each other but if you get married when your not ready then it will be easy to not feel the same way
ReplyDeleteand to separate. You have to be absolutely committed to the marriage or it won't work out.
I am not completely sure how my family lives compaed to what Morrie says. If anyone else in the world married someone they did not love, I am sure they would end up like any othr couple in that situation, divorce. In our generation, I thinnk people get together in a relationship just to show their friends that they can actually get a partner. They are almost showing off what they can do. Once I get older, I hope to practice what Morrie says.
