Relationships 101

Over the past month, there has been a lot of talk going on about relationships. Everyone is breaking up or hooking up with very little keeping up or making up. I just don't get. After putting a lot of thought into the situations that I'm surrounded by, this is what I've come up with:

Marriage
People tend to say "I Do" because they are thinking about their life with that person, in the moment. They aren't thinking about five or ten years down the line. Some folks just don't realize that their mate will come to be familiar with all the sweet little things and tender moments of just the two of you. Reality check: work will get in the way, children will be born, friends and family members will all play a major factor in your lives. This pretty much means, THINGS WILL CHANGE, THEY WILL GET TOUGHER! It's sad to say that in today's society, it's become too easy to back out of the contract of marriage,which makes me wonder: has marriage lost it's sanctity?

Relationships
What happened to functional, monogamous relationships? I just want to know. Too many people in today's society have become more concerned with instant gratification and quantity, over deeper meaning and quality. Why the hell are people so afraid to take a chance and get their feelings hurt or hearts broken? Feelings will bounce back and broken hearts will mend. More people need to take a chance instead of letting potentially good people float by them.

And that's all I've gotta say about that!
