It is the struggles that you overcome together that make a marriage last forever. If it was all easy, there would be no divorce. Of course I am not counting abusive situations which have no place in marriage whatsoever.

But alas, our society has become to much me, me, me. And not enough we, we ,we. It is sad, the further we go with technology and communication the more we lack true communication. Look at Facebook (I'm sure I'll get slammed for this), but a lot of what goes on there is like high school on steroids. I'm done with my soap box.

I totally agree with you. Our society has been brainwashed into a materialistic, sex crazed, me give me mine NOW attitude. Maybe we need to go back to our roots and realize we should help eachother instead of ourselves.

If couples stepped back, focused more on their spouse and spent less time on themselves, then most of the problems married couples face in a relationship would be less and much easier to tackle and get through. Not to mention the love that could grow from that perspective.
