Why Popular Mechanics?

Marriage is a tricky business because there are no instructions that will guarantee a long lasting working one. So why do people get married? Some of the reasons may result to “forever”. Noticed that the word “may” was used. Love, whatever it is for the couple sharing it, is found to be the reason for marriage ever since freedom of choosing whosoever. Once they’ve established that they love each other, they look for stability (spiritual, mental, emotional, and financial). They want to commit themselves to each other. A seal on their love and agreement on stability, commitment is what the road up ahead is about. No matter how many nicer, kinder, better-looking people they meet, even if the love they’ve known seizes to exist, it’s the commitment that they have that will most probably make them last until “forever”. Besides these three, there are others who marry for reasons that are considered to be more fickle than the above mentioned. Take for example, fear of being alone or being an old maid, fear of being left out, and sometimes, fear of being deported. Also, statistics say that married people are most likely financially stable. So it could also be a reason for struggling yuppies. Another is that the girl is pregnant or one or both of them are most satisfied having sex with their partner. For as long as these reasons are present in the couples’ lives, then their marriage is alike to a healthy one. As soon as the fickle reasons change, one of them is packing their bags. Whatever the reason is, good or bad, there is still a reason. It’s up to the couple to keep it in their relationship.
On the other hand, divorce is as plain as it can get. Robin Williams once said, “Ah, yes, divorce ... from the Latin word meaning to rip out a mans genitals through his wallet.” It may be more complicated than it sounds, but one thing is clear and constant all throughout: it’s expensive. So why do couples divorce? Their situation has changed, the provider is now unemployed and depends too much on the one in charge of the household. They find out that they have different beliefs in raising the children, running the house, etc. They have a couple of fights that result to unhappiness and dissatisfaction, which leads them to look for happiness and satisfaction in other places, a.k.a. infidelity. Even cruel treatment, verbally or physically later appears in their fights. All of which proves that the couple has poor communication before and during the marriage, and most probably will not have any communication at all once divorced. Most probably, couples divorce because they don’t understand commitment. Then again, they just might be rich.
