Is Your Love Enough To Make Your Marriage Last? - part 2
by Valentina Ibeachum
Some of the stuff written in this article may be too hard a pill for many to swallow because we've been programmed over the years to think differently. Adverts on TV, films, books, TV programs, have all worked together to shape a view that is totally different from the values followed in times past. The unconventional has now become the norm. So, some of the things that I will say will be seen as controversial because it goes against what is now considered as normal. But if we're really honest with ourselves (many find this very difficult to do), current divorce rates show that things aren't as good as they should be. Relationships are disintegrating all the time. If we're so "enlightened" now, how come relationships aren't better than they were? Why are they worse? US Statistics indicate that one out of two marriages end up in divorce. Compare that to 60 years, and you'll see a great difference in the rates.
Some people don't like to agree that the media plays a part in shaping people's perception, attitudes, behaviours, and life choices. I think they must have wilfully closed their eyes to the thousands of women who change their clothing or hairstyle to look like a certain celebrity. They probably didn't read about the study that was done on women who said they began to have more casual sexual relationships after watching a very popular TV show which depicts some single women actively engaging in various casual sexual encounters. They also don't notice how many young men and women dress like performers on MTV. Like a wise person said, "He who controls the language controls the culture."
