You keep cutting me off 🙂

Marriage isn’t for everyone. It’s about willingness to change, be selfishless, and be willing to make sacrifices/commitments for the other person. And it takes both people to do it. If you aren’t willing to do those things for that specific person, don’t get married. And if you are willing to do those things, you better make damn sure the other person is too, because if that person isn’t willing to do that for you, don’t get married. Nothing worse going into a marriage thinking you don’t have to make changes, except possibly going into a marriage for which you’re the only one willing to make the changes. That rule applies to americans and foreign born.

The reason why more marriages are probably failing in modern times is people over the years have gotten considerably more self centered and selfish throughout the years. Just look at how things are. It’s the epitome of the baby boomers, much more a problem in Generation X’s, and culminates in the Millinium generation. Everything is about me me me. My house value is falling, my fancy car, my golden parachute. The days of social conscientiousness are over. I have not ever met a single person that isn’t realative who sincerely is a selfishless person. Maybe just my damn unluck…But I just haven’t.
