except he's wrong. stats show that people who typically did NOT cohabitate before marriage and had SHORTER engagement periods tend to divorce LESS. everything he just said is way off as far as the actual stats go. smh.

This is basically it in a nutshell. People love to romanticize the past. Yeah women were more obedient then because they didn't have to work, and were looked down upon if they weren't housewives, but with more rights came more freedom. Women can easily make it without a man, or a relationship, and still lead fulfilling lives. If your nikka ain't shyt, women aren't scared to leave because they'll be out of on the street by themselves, you can leave.
when more Americans identified as Christians there were fewer divorce rates...you can't deny that.

Like others have said, we live in a society that simply does value and promote the relevance of relationships and the importance of keeping them together. We live in a ultra-indulgent, hedonistic, me-first, me-second, as long as I am happy environment that only encourages loyalty and commitment as long as the relationship is rosy.
Not to mention, our media does a great job of pushing situationships to the fore. Maybe the most popular genre in media today, reality tv, does a great job of pushing storylines that revolve around tenuous dating situations that are simply sloppy and anything but loyal and committed. Characters like Stevie J and Peter Gunz have become the entertainment of the masses....and maybe even role models to a certain extent.
People can clown all day, but I would bet that a lot of dudes wouldn't mind being in that position or even give those dudes props on a certain level.
What's worse is that the women in these situationships are somehow promoted as being "strong" and "independent" for being able to deal with these kind of men. In some ways, they're even made out to be heroines. This, maybe unintentionally, makes this lifestyle seem less tragic than what it actually is and almost justifies its existence. And whether we know its entertainment or not, it gives credence to the many situationships that happen in real life. And now, those people can say "well at least I'm not alone."
There's many factors that cause relationships to be as fickle as they are now. Truth is, its not just women...men are plenty fickle as well. However, comparatively speaking, women in 2013 are much more fickle than in years past.
Peace

Doesn't matter. Christians still get divorced at higher rates than atheists. Looks like Christianity is failing at keeping the family together while atheists seem to be doing fine.

Stupid argument.
Might as well blame it on technology. When technology was less advanced there were fewer divorce rates.

Feminism has ruined women. The weak men allow their importance to be diminished out of sympathy for awkward harlot philosophies. Trollops can't even scramble an egg and i'm supposed to take her serious?

quit regurgitating the same chauvinistic women hating crap you seen on this message board? the ability to cook defines the worth of a human being now?
anyways if you were the right man, believe me, she'd learn how to cook for you.

I agree 110% with this..I also think the western culture is "out of tune" with these things because they are obsessed with things such as media, celebrities lives, tabloids, reality shows..backetball wifes etc. They have an unrealistic mentality of what the whole institution represents because of these new aged influences that people back in other decades didnt have...
Its now a culture that lives off of vanity and other fronts, and women trying to simply find a man with $$ and assets so that she can be included in that "Joneses" lifestyle rather than really knowing if they are compatible as partners because they see material objects over "unconditional love" an attorney associate of mine once told me "fuk love" its about what he can do for me...smh

She's independent, sassy, and tells it like it is, breh! That's way better than having someone who's helpful, nurturing, and not shallow!

Skrong Independent Divas who are "real woman sized" and don't need no man>>>>>>Respectible women who are smart, can cook and don't have an attitude to over compensate for their insecurity
