[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 736626, member: 21572"] I do know if I were among the younger generation today, I wouldn't be interested in marriage. Marriage, in my opinion, at least by today's standards, is empty, aside from the select few. As for right now, as in if dear husband and I went our separate ways, or heaven forbid, something happened to dear husband, I wouldn't waste a minute looking or playing the field. I spend a lot of time observing couples whenever I'm out and about, and I see very few that radiate a sense of happiness, contentment, and love, yet for whatever unknown reason the general populous continues to strive for marriage and children, as if they are adamant about living up to the ideals of yesteryear. Far too many people are more concerned about people who are single, and why those people are single, instead of concerning themselves over their own affairs. I believe that if people (overall) spent more time full-filling their own dreams and wishes instead of putting on a show for all to see around them, i.e., trying to keep up with the Jones's, society would be a better place for all, and I believe materialism and greed is the root cause of 99% of societies woes.
