So the thread has evolved from "those dang kids today" to "those dang women today, gettin' all uppity".
Pretty funny.
Look at the images on TV. Drag queens and ads for men wearing makeup (Sephora). Society now teaches that masculinity is toxic in any form and that having children means that a woman is a loser. Those are the messages that young people are getting over and over.
So?
LOL....what?
The statistics don't lie. Your wife is more likely than not to initiate divorce at some point. You have a 50% chance. That's really high. 70% of divorces in the United States are initiated by the wife.So the thread has evolved from "those dang kids today" to "those dang women today, gettin' all uppity".

I agree with you.
The last I looked at divorce stats, the 50% was heavily influenced by people who marry-divorce multiple times. So people like my wife and I, who've been married for 30 years, only count as one data point, whereas someone who's on their third marriage counts 2-3 times more.The statistics don't lie. Your wife is more likely than not to initiate divorce at some point. You have a 50% chance. That's really high. 70% of divorces in the United States are initiated by the wife.
As usual, I agree with you.
Oh so you notice?
I'm 58. Why are you bothering to post on a Christian site?
I'm 56. I was wondering where you get your ideas on what "messages young people are getting these days". Do you frequent places where teens and twenty-somethings hang out?
Because I want to.
I know that you know that it's more then a emotional or always exciting.As usual, I agree with you.
I just wonder:
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO LOVE!!!
How does a person get bored of the one they love?
Does your generation believe in love?
Or is it like a fairy tale?
Or something that you wish would be but you can't find it???
I think my generation has confused love with lust. They lust after a person and they think they love them. Then they get married, the intensity dies down, and they miss it. It usually ends in divorce.As usual, I agree with you.

Because I explained that one primary function of traditional marriage is to bear and raise children, that’s a permanent transition for a woman from maidenhood to motherhood. Biologically, a woman only has limited amount of eggs, it’s her most precious resource, therefore she’s hardwired to seek the most reliable partner who can take care of her during her pregnancy, delivery and babysitting periods when she’s most vulnerable. Usually a man’s mating strategy is quantity over quality, a woman’s is QUALITY over quantity, this is why a woman is hardwired to always seek the best man as husband material in the dating pool even if it may be unrealistic, historically up to 80% women have descendants, but only 40% men have descendants.
Well, at least the deceased one does have entered into eternity, right?
Plus, I mentioned that marriage is not only a union of two individuals, but also two families, and usually it's the woman who's married into the man's family, taking his last name, not the other way around. In the bible it says that at the end times people marry and give in to marriage, that's speaking from the man's and the woman's perspectives, man marries the woman, woman gives in to marriage with the man. If the woman chooses unwisely and gets herself married into a bad family of jacka$$es, she has to deal with not one man, but all of them, and in the process she may become a jacka$$, and that'd ruin her life forever, from which she'll never recover.
Lust is a transient rush of hormones, it's a big dopamine hit, it comes like a wave that crashes and makes a huge impact on the beach, then it's gone as though it has never existed, then rinse and repeat with the next wave, pun intended. Love, on the other hand, is an ACTION, not a feeling as most people think, including but not limited to actions in bed. It's altruistic, putting your partner's need and happiness over your own, devoting your time and resources to their wellbeing, that requires spiritual maturity and faith in generosity - "it is more blessed to give than to receive." (Acts 20:35)
Pfft ... a large segment of the population is NOT marriageable.
There're two considerable elements not included on this list: some are not seeking any romantic relationship with a real partner, they're married to their work, dating and marriage are a waste of time, that's the ethos of at least the second wave of feminism; others may have a desire for a meaningful and committed romantic relationship, but there's no eligible partner around, no opportunity to meet anybody, and essentially no dating pool for them. Reunion with your childhood sweetheart in your hometown as depicted in every Hallmark movie is unrealistic, that's an illusion.
It's not terrible that women can initiate a divorce. But the numbers clearly indicate that women are getting into marriages and not staying committed. Marriage is supposed to be a commitment. It's not something you should just give up on because you find the married life boring. If you think it's boring, you shouldn't get married in the first place.
