Is this concept almost passe''?
Hubby and I have been married almost 22 years, my folks 47 yrs, his 53. A member of church passed away this week and his wife talked about making sure to value every day with your spouse (they were married 45 years). My daughter and I were talking and she was mentioning several of her friends parents who have split. I later was discussing the funeral with a friend of mine who is on her third marriage, and it got me thinking about how people, or do people think about this when planning marriage.
I know people don''t go into a marriage assuming divorce, but it is true that second marriages have a higher rate of divorce than first marriages. Is there different mindsets toward marriage out there. I really hope I''m not offending anyone, because that is not my intention, but I''m just wondering what other''s thoughts are.
