Save Marriage

I have noticed that family dynamics have become some of the most interesting and random aspects of today's society. I personally have grandparents that have been married for fifty years on my dad's side, and a grandmother with five marriages, and a mother with three on the other side. Not to mention, those three marriages had three completely different children resulting in my siblings and I all having different dads. Although I wouldn't change this for the world because I wouldn't have all of these people in my life if it was different, I find it sad that today the fifty year old marriage on my dad's side is more shocking than the serial brides bred on my mother's side. I hear of more and more people that don't believe in marriage and that while they want to spend the rest of their lives with someone, they don't want to get married. It is because divorce has become so casual. People marry people they have only known for a month or met on the internet knowing that if it doesn't work out they can get a divorce. The divorce rate today is so high that I can't blame the people that think that getting married will jinx their relationships. However, it is such an exciting part of someone's life that it is disappointing to me that it is being taken so lightly. I hope that this will start to turn around and that marriage will become a valued aspect of society again.
