Does NO one

Respect the boundaries of marriage anymore?? I am so tired of seeing wives move in on other people's husbands, and husbands on wives. Heck even single people or those separated moving in on another that is married or separated

I think it's more than just a social dogma that says that it's ‘ok’. A lot of it I think is a lack of personal respect, as well as people rushing into things much too quickly. There have always been martial problems from the beginning of recorded time. Look at Lehis’ wife Sarah, she murmured against him when she became disgruntled.

This doesn't make it ok, I'm only pointing out that it'll never end.

I think the crutch of a lot of problems now days come from the lack of time spent actually getting to know the person in question. We all do stupid things and rush into marriage or into that relationship, or a business agreement, or any number of things personally, finically and respectfully spiritually as well.

Look at the generations previous to ours? How many people does everyone know over the age of 40 or so that are still married, Parents, grandparents, great grandparents etc. In my opinion, the difference I think really is time. In "Their" day it was part of courting for their time. It took 6-9 months before anything serious happened, kissing was very taboo and engagements lasted for well over a year or more. (At least for my parents it was like 11 months.) I’m not saying there wasn’t a problem, Just that people took the time that was really needed to decide if that was something they wanted, rather than letting their emotions carry them away. I’d dare say that the vast majority of the time people have probably not done the searching required to find out wither or not it is something for them. If less people looked at a relationship from the point of thinking that a piece of paper from a high official saying your married is going to change someone… Eh, then hopefully there will be fewer problems. Oft I think this is the ideal that people keep, ‘oh that will change once we get married I’ll make him/her’ that is most assuredly not the case.

I'll agree on the social aspect for AMERICAN society. Our country as a whole is in a state of infancy, a small child to most others countries in sheer existence.. The oriental countries are much older, and their culture is based much on honor and spirituality. This is shown as early as the toccata graveyard, and the Samurai. Of course it’d make you think a second time if was part of your culture to take a tanto to your belly and commit seppuku if you were to do something to dishonor yourself.

It'll never end, but it can be better, sadly that will only happen when the public as a whole decides that we as the people are being stupid, and have to make the personal choice to not climb that wall. However, until it gets to that point it'll never change besides the shifts that are required in our own selves.
