The only thing I wi...Wise words here, my friend! <br /><br />The only thing I will add is a point that I heard in a sermon recently. It used to be that the average person's circle of the world was fairly small, so there was really little chance to meet someone new to compare your spouse to, or to tempt you to leave for something better.<br /><br />But these days, with everyone being much busier, running kids to and from activities (and relating to other adults while there), being on Facebook (often with old boy/girlfriends, as well as current acquaintances of the opposite sex), the internet in general, cell phones and private emails, chat rooms.....a person has MUCH more opportunity to a) meet someone who looks to be better than one's spouse, and b) get to know that someone without one's spouse finding out about it. <br /><br />The remarkable ease with which a person can meet and "fall in love" with someone else makes it staggeringly easy to have an affair or dump your spouse for someone else, as opposed to in our parents' generation. Not only did people not get around and meet as many other people as they do now, but without technology, that left letters and home or work telephones for communication, which made it harder (and probably therefore less tempting) to carry on an extra-marital relationship.<br /><br />I had never thought of that before, and it really struck me how much those factors have likely contributed to the downfalls of today's marriages.Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05544930173539144894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4636072180687067092.post-39032279833236896382011-08-30T09:47:56.978-07:002011-08-30T09:47:56.978-07:00I think there is a lot of truth here Carrie.

I wonder how many people actually do break over the stuff like the bunched up socks? <br /><br />Imagine if people dumped their kids when they were being frustrating. Oh wait, no one would still have any children!Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256355039094301578noreply@blogger.com
