Does anyone else find it disturbing that relationships & marriage are treated as disposable, like last season’s shoes? Norah Zelevanksy covers the popularity of mass e-mails to announce divorces and divorce parties (complete with gift registries) to celebrate break ups in Salon article “May We Congratulate You on Your Divorce.”
In some ways, I can understand so many marriages ending in divorce. 100 years ago people weren’t living 80+ years. When you promised til death do us part, death was like 20 or 30 so years down the road, not 60+. Anyone can wear out their welcome spending 60+ years in a relationship.
But on the otherhand, shouldn’t folks be more selective in being SURE that one is with the right person before shelling out $15,000 for a wedding that looks like every wedding that has come before? Why spend the time and money getting hitched if it isn’t at least a 15-20 year investment? I just don’t get it.
