WAY TO MUCH TEMPTATION FOR MEN AND THE WEB. IS AT THE TOP. GET YOUR MAN TO CHURCH AND WHEN HE STARTS TO READ THE BIBLE HE WILL SEE WHY....HOPE THAT WILL HELP :)

I think the divorce rate is going up because Hollywood gives us unrealistic expectations of what marriage should be. 50 years ago a husband and wife spent very little time together, and didn't expect one another to share interests. Love didn't mean spending all your time together and sharing all your feelings back then. Married couples had their own lives in a way they don't anymore. He spent his free time with the guys, she spent her free time with the girls, and as long as he kept the money coming and she kept the house clean they didn't expect too much from one another. Talk over the dinner table, share the communal bed, and once a week date night kept our predecessors happy.

Today married couples want to be a part of every aspect of each other's lives... especially the women. Women never got offended when hubby went to spend his evenings at the club or with the boys in the '50's. Now Cosmo and Hollywood tell us that if he doesn't ask about our day, doesn't kiss us the right way, or wants to go be "manly" too often that something is wrong with our relationship. The fact is, when you fall in love you don't stop being two separate people. You both have your own thoughts, feelings, and favorite spare time activities. Your partner should be the person you talk to about all the fun things you did with your day, not necessarily the person you do them all with.

Also, we as women have been brainwashed to put WAY too much importance on feelings. OUR feelings, of course. We badger our men to share their feelings, which they normally really don't have. Men don't spend much time in introspection regretting that they never had the courage to stand up to that mean boy in school, or whether they prefer blue or orange for the breakfast nook for that matter. So we women badger them and nag for feelings they don't have causing resentment on behalf of the men! And it's all to make ourselves feel better because we are being "open" and trying to "share" but he is being "difficult". We are constantly talking about our feelings and how things make us FEEL like feelings are real physical things!

People have unrealistic expectations of what marriage and love should be. How many people get divorced or cheat, not because their mate is a bad spouse, but because they aren't "in love" anymore? What is love if not getting up every morning and doing what it takes to keep the family happy, healthy, and together day after day regardless of whether or not it gives you butterflies in your stomach? If more people, men and women, spent more time being reasonable and appreciating what they have, instead of letting a bunch of hormones make them feel left out because of what they don't have, more marriages would stay together longer.
