The Push Towards Marriage

Why is there such a push towards marriage? I often ask myself this question. Today there seems to be such a push toward marriage and not enough towards marriage preparation and education. Marrying people without preparing them does not solve problems it creates them. Some are pressured into marrying and some choose to marry without even thinking about their actions. In my opinion, these people are marrying for the wrong reasons. If no thought process goes into their marriage then their marriage is s doomed to fail. Forcing people to marry to try to get them of welfare, or make them go along with tradition, is only going to make divorce rates increase. We need to teach people how to recognize problems as well as solve them. Some may begin to recognize problems before they get married and decide that marrying is not the best idea. We need to give them the skills they need in order to succeed. Because these skills are not always innate, sometimes they have to be taught. If we can work towards preparing people for marriage and improving marriages then I think the divorce rates will decrease and people will be much happier in there marriage. When you put someone else before you you often forget about you own happiness. Sometimes you have to learn how to maintain your own happiness.
