Should People Get Married?

Every human being dreams of his/her wedding day and how life would be when you get married.

In 1970 72% of the population was married and now the number is just slightly over 50%. Likewise the percent of divorced people is rapidly on the rise. Obviously, all this data is making people think twice before getting married (Broude, 2007).

Another factor in the decline in marriages is no doubt the effect that divorce has on the mindset of young adults. More and more commonly people in their twenties considering marriage is from a broken home they. This may add to their apprehension and guarded sense of taking a marital ...
