Marriage

What is going on with marriage nowadays? There are Brad and Angelina, maybe getting married but not so long ago it was brad and Jennifer. There are Nick and Jessica who each have found new love after the seemingly blissfully beginning of a marriage and even a TV show about how great it was to be newly weds. Marriage has become disposable, like a stinky diaper you can ditch in the nearest trash can. I mean after all there are so many eligible bachelors and female singles, hanging out in this world that you might as well try them all out. Alright so not every marriage is bad in fact most of them are good but still there has been growth in the divorce rate everywhere not just in Hollywood. The problem is that when things get hard newly married people aren't prepared. Life is fairly easy in high school, your parents pay and you only need to take care of yourself. Instead of staying together to solve problems people get away from each other to avoid problems. But the avoided problems are not gone forever they come back just to remind you how good things could have been. How can a person be happy in the good times if they never experienced the bad? Life is weird, and things happen that are hard and unexpected but that doesn't mean that they are unsolvable or that you are stuck. When you try until you can try no more, that is when you can give up and stop fighting, only when you are so tired that you realize what you fought about doesn't even matter any more. I don't know, I have never been married before, I do know that it must be harder than it seems to me but, I also know that love is something that is terrible to lose. Is quitting worth it?
