  • Don't know about that. There are more legal requirement for divorce and the way some people draw it out trying to punish their partners I would say it is the other way around. We can get married on a lark but a divorce requires, if not lawyers, then legal advice and legal documents and in the state where I live a waiting period. Young people seem to be more afraid of making the marriage commitment whereas for us we considered it desirable so we perhaps went into it a lot more easily. Not referring to myself - I did not marry until well into my 50s and had very few reasonable offers before that. So if you are younger perhaps this is what you are referring to.

      Maybe you didn't see it, officegirl, but there was already a question the other way around and I simply reversed it to mock it. I think my version is closer to the truth though. I'm in my 50s myself and I've never been married, while I have seen many friends marry and divorce in a short space of time. I've always been afraid of commitment myself, and even more so the responsibilities of parenthood, which I have always avoided like the plague. Now if for some reason I did get married, the first hint of starting a family would drive me away before you could say "Taumatawhakatangi?hangakoauauotamatea?turipukakapikimaunga?horonukupokaiwhen?uakitanatahu". Lol:)

      Sorry about those question marks in the middle of that. I didn't put them there, they appeared by default.
  • People are rather bonkers about both topics. Just to describe the level of craziness would fill a book. Almost everybody is unaware that marriage is a natural condition. They think it is a legal privilege. Just bonkers.
  • I think it's because of gravity. It's like walking up hill first and then walking down hill. ; )
  • That question is definitely in the reverse!
