Marriages

I am recovering from a cold for the first time in ages. As I thought i recovered, I am still very laggy, so my thoughts may appear to be that. If this post doesn’t make sense, I’m pretty sure that I will have endless posts in the future about “marriage” and maybe one of those will get hit well past the left field with a post you will understand.
As someone who is barely (and I mean barely) experienced something about romance, I question about marriage.  I don’t understand it in the larger (macro) sense.  I see couple marrying at a younger age, although supposedly they are marrying later in their 20s – I don’t know whose right. Why don’t people question themselves if its worth doing in the long run? Why is there a such thing as a prenuptial, and why is divorce being encouraged the best practice socially? I believe in God and Christ*, and (some people may be disappointed that I) don’t fully subscribe to the Holy Bible, but I believe unless something really bad happened to the locked in relationship, to get out.
*whether or not they are looking out for me or others, is another issue for another day
Oh and dare I say the cost of the wedding? Given how prices have gone up all across all the commodities last few years, I am not alarmed that the costs of weddings would go up too. Why would a couple piss such parent’s money down if they will do it again once twice or even their third wedding!
Divorces drive me nuts. I just mentioned the upfront costs leading to such marriages, and what about the costs of breaking up? You know, the legal fees, the travel to the county courthouse, the costs for lawyers, and what to give and to sacrifice for the other, etc., etc. and etc.  It’s not like you can simply spin off a company* and only to gain profits sans the dysfunctional business; this is a heluvla lot worse! There are stories that divorce is lead from simple counts such as “nagging”, having their first fight in their marriage and not before and other things you’d expect from a legitimately lower IQed population, and not from a fully functioning groups of society. That tells me that the world is pretty immature.
*wait there are companies that are actually people, I was referring to large corporations, though the owners of the L.A. Dodgers have went through a messy divorce, which screwed up their ballteams organization.
And there of course there’s the eternal debate of legalizing gay or homosexual marriages, then you have that debate thrown into the whole mess of marriages. I won’t go into specifics on that issue ether, but its just another issue to deal with.
Is the world going so fast at the speed of light that people aren’t paying attention to their decisions and how it can effect their lives and how it will effect their future, and not just their past?
