"...First comes love, then comes marriage.."

I did some research tonight, and came across some information that has me disturbed!! In 1982 the percentage for an unmarried woman who didn't finish high school was 33%. Between 2006-2008, the percentage rose to 54%. The percentage for high school graduates in 1982 was 13%, and rose to 44% between 2006-2008. The percentage for college graduates in 1982 went from 2% to 6% between 2006-2008. These aren't even the updated risen percentages for 2009 to our present time. When couples were asked why they didn't get married, one of the responses was, "We're still young, and it cost a lot of money to separate once papers are signed." You can't step into any relationship with the idea in your head that there might be an end. That is a easy way out. It's selling yourself short, and it's you calling yourself weak!! I don't understand their reasoning, and I sure don't accept excuses either. Marriage is more than a piece of paper. It's a full-time forever commitment to love, cherish, adore, honor, respect, care for, and grow with your spouse. There is no room for selfishness!! We really need to get back to the concept we chanted as kids on the playground, "...first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby and the baby carriage!" Let's teach our babies the true meaning of marriage, it being the foundation under God for "family".
