Admin	Why 'Failed' Marriages in the United States Posted : 21 Jun, 2013 04:49 PM First of all, I want to say that I do not mean this as an insult to anyone. I'm curious to know why marriages don't work in United States. :applause:India:applause: I'm an Indian! I'll give you an honest opinion about India. � People in India do not date. They neither date nor court. � Marriages are never complicated in India. � The vast majority of Indians have no dating skills. � The divorce rate in India is just 1.1%. � Over 90% to 95% of arranged marriages in India are successful. Secret Behind Success Of Arranged Marriages ~ http://www.newsplex.com/news/headlines/15647947.html :stop:United States::stop: Why marriages are so complicated in United States? Is there any problem with American women? Is it true that most American women are extremely emotionally immature? They act like selfish little children, totally obnoxious. Are they angry, independent and have an unsubmissive attitude? OR Do you think there is a problem with men who are abusive, ungodly and no longer manly? Post Reply

We are such buisy people that we in general do not take the time to develop lasting relationships. Not saying that all people are like this but in general this is my observation. Post Reply

In America we have a choice, I don't believe this is so in other countries particularly India. USA has choices which makes it easier to divorce. The repercussions of divorce in a free country aren't what they once were. With freedom comes a price of reaping what you've sown which we are paying for now. Divorce has skyrocketed without argument. The fact that this country was built under God is why we had the wealth and prosperity we once knew in this country. At one time we were following His Way in this country. The majority during World War II was Christian in the US and the divorce rate was below 15%, Christianity is no longer the majority here and the divorce rate is 47% or more. Does anyone see a co-relation here? It isn't anything but sinfulness that marriages fail anywhere. I admit my percentages could be wrong but I've lived long enough to know what I have seen over the past fifty years. Post Reply

It is selfish people both male and females that help make marriages fail. The power is in our choices, will we do things His way or ours? Post Reply
Guardian143 View Profile History	Why 'Failed' Marriages in the United States Posted : 4 Aug, 2013 08:28 PM This is good topic to explore. On the female side, we see the effect of feminism and how women adopted an independent spirit. While of the male side, we are seeing wholesale emasculation where men are afraid to commit and be men. So now we are seeing the number of single parent families skyrocketing. Generations of children are growing up without fathers or mothers. And statistically they are set up for failure in life. There are a whole lot of outside forces working against the stability of the family. and we haven't even talked about demonic forces. That's just the flesh and the world. Our church has set-up the mentoring ministry for young boys to somehow alleviate this. Thank God for innovative ministries that strengthen the family. A strong family is the basis of a strong nation and a strong church. Post Reply
View Profile History	Why 'Failed' Marriages in the United States Posted : 6 Aug, 2013 11:21 PM While I accept that it is a good thing for there to be mentoring for boys being bought up by a female single parent - I have this in place for my son though I had to ask male friends rather than the church coming forward - I am SICK to the back teeth of this claim that children (especially boys) from single parent families are destined to fail. I have a 14 year old son. He is a shining light at his school, our church and his theatre club. His peers look up to him, his teachers adore him, he is destined to be headboy year after next. He wants to go to University and then become a teacher for children aged 9-11 years old. And I have raised him single handedly for the past 10 years. So please, no more of this 'children from single parent families will be failures' stuff. There has been a HUGE social upheaval in the past 100 years or so with acceptance that women are equal to men. 'We' - as a gender - went from being seen as second class citizens to being told we were now equal. The feeling of release led to a rather over the top reaction for a few decades. Then reality sunk in that maybe we still weren't so equal. Despite getting the vote in the UK in 1928, the equal pay act did not come in until 1970. 33 years later there are still instances where this is ignored. People, men and women, are still not sure what is happening, how to handle this etc. In many ways the 20th century caused a lot of confusion and insecurity and it is the men and women who grew up then who are having the biggest problem coping. I genuinely believe that as we are coming down the other side of this upheaval and equality is being accepted as the norm rather than an 'issue' that this problem of so many failed marriages will abate.
