Something to Ponder

So I was just surfing through blogs and I found this interesting quote and article that another blogger stumbled upon.

A pattern of late marriage may actually increase the rate of divorce. During that initial decade of physical adulthood, young people may not be getting married, but they're still falling in love. They fall in love, and break up, and undergo terrible pain, but find that with time they get over it. They may do this many times. Gradually, they get used to it; they learn that they can give their hearts away, and take them back again; they learn to shield their hearts from access in the first place. They learn to approach a relationship with the goal of getting what they want, and keep their bags packed by the door. By the time they marry they may have had many opportunities to learn how to walk away from a promise. They've been training for divorce.

Anyway, I thought this was a good thought provoker. Don't take the title too seriously, it is designed to be an attention getter... and she makes quite a few good points. So read the article! :-)
