Maui WeddingsMaui Weddings and Honeymoon Vacations February 27th, 2010 Do you think Americans have the best weddings in the world but the worst marriages?Prashant asked:
I think us Americans focus wayyyy too much time on making our weddings so lavish and extraordinary and special (which I do not think is wrong) that sometimes (not all the time), we forget about preparing to spend the rest of our lifetime with that special person (which is where our focus should be!) Also why are there sooo many divorces? Like 1 in 2 marriages result in a divorce I think… Is is because we are really really bad at staying committed? No self control? Letting our selfish desires control our lives and end up hurting us at the end? Do we look deeply for shallow characteristics in our partners (being sexy, money, naughty (bad boy/bad girl) etc etc)? I’m open minded. I’m only 18 years old so I have a lot to learn. I’ll keep some of y’alls comments and suggestions in mind. Let me at it… What do you guys think?  4 Responses to “Do you think Americans have the best weddings in the world but the worst marriages?” |

No and No.
I don’t think Americans have the best weddings in the world, and I don’t think Americans have the worst marriages in the world.
I DO think that often people put too much time, energy, and money into a wedding. I also think that Americans often neglect to nurture and feed their marriages. But, I don’t think that is a uniquely American trait. America has A LOT of shallow, short-sighted people…but it doesn’t have a monopoly on the supply.

Wow!!! Please, don’t scare me!!!! I’m commited to an american man…..
Well, I guess is the same everywhere. All latinamericans have the same problem… But I think the porblem is not the commintment, is the fact that us, modern people want everything EASY and fast and as painless as possible, but that’s impossible!
Marriage is hard, and the most of the people forget the diference abou marriage and weddings.
We are spoiled!!!
so, i we belive we can hold on life the same way we can hold on what we love, may be, a good marriage will happen.
You’re so young, so be loco for a while, be responsable with your body and your self love, and probably, when the time to get marry arrives, you’ll be a GREAT CATCH.
so, enjoy and be happy!

Marriage is what you make it and everyday is a challenge. In order to stay together you have to want to stay together no matter how bad things get. People have stopped realizing that if you get married you should plan on staying married for the rest of their lives or they shouldn’t get married. When I tell people that I’ve been married 12 years they look at me like and make a big deal about it. Why!?! 50 years ago people didn’t get divorced but not some one who isn’t is looked at like they are dinosaurs. I think a lot of this country has lost its moral compass and it is seen now that if you don’t like things you can just leave and go find another mate. A marriage will only last if you work at it thru communication, respect, and unconditional love.

It’s becuase some couples marry for lust, not love. They think that divorce is an easy way out. I think that ALL couples should have pre-marital counsuling.
