Is marriage still a valued institution?
do you think people still value marriage or is everyone cheating on everyone else? do current laws (no-fault state, etc) make it easier to get divorced? i am a sociology student conducting an anonymous survey on marriage. to participate, visit: http://geocities.com/sbiv37
Answers:
I have valued my marriage for ten years now and have never cheated nor will I ever. I wasn't married until I was thirty years old, so my guess is young people need to sow their wild oats before making adult decisions. When you are young it is hard enough to decide whether or not to go to college, how can you commit to another person let alone consider raising children. How Laura Ingalls did it at fourteen is beyond me. Older marriages are stable marriages, kids should stay single and they won't cheat or divorce.
As to your question about current law and divorce. Yes, i think current law does make divorce far easier, no-fault limits the court to consider the distribution of property and that is probably a good thing. In Washington close to 80% of divorces are completed without a trial and a large percentage of those are pro se. Easy divorce is best for all involved, think of the children, limit the conflict. We will have to see about that survey...
I think people who love God still value marriage especially Christians depends which people you meet.
For the most part, I think marriage is not as valued as it was in the past. I am divorced, live in CT a no fault state. Even though I was happy to be divorcing a cheating man, it was so easy it made me sick. No lawyers, 90 day waiting period and the marriage is ended. It's very sad in a way.
It depends entirely on the people involved. I adore my wife of 15 years and would never consider divorce. I sincerely believe my wife feels the same way. You have to communicate and work on your marriage everyday. If you ignore it or take it for granted then you are in danger of losing it.
Of course it's a valued insitution. And its value is determined in excruciating detail when the marriage is ending.
To me as a Catholic, it is a sacred thing, because it is a sacrament instituted by Christ.
