Dating and marriage is different today than it was twenty years ago. In today's society, more than 50% of all marriages fail for one reason or another.

Just thinking about that makes "commitment" seem scary. It seems that when relationships are faced with challenges, people quit trying.

Dating is more like a marathon, trying to date as many people as possible, instead of taking time to get to know someone at a deeper level. For married couples, divorce is not biased. Whether married for thirty years or eight months, the outcome can be the same.
