Have you noticed in recent years that magazines like Vogue and Cosmopolitan and others of the same calibre seem to be printings articles on "how to save your marriage", or "how to spice up your sex life" or other how to's and do's and don'ts related to the subject of marital bliss and relationships. Divorce rates are definitely on the rise, there's no doubts there but why is it?My friend says that at the moment she seems to see a lot of divorces taking place around her, like 'tis the season for this folly, fa lalala la la la la lah. She said it seemed like the divorce boom time while I said to me it seemed more like the baby boom time. But getting back to the case at hand, it all boils down to chemistry and the chemicals fizzing out. People tend to get bored, things start to become plain and mundane, unexciting finally falling into a sort of schedule where you can't be bothered doing what you have to since its goin to be the same tomorrow and the day after and the day after that. Some might just tend to accept the routine and carry on day after day. We live in a society where we seem to be getting forever impatient and stressed for time. We want things done quicker and faster boiling down to the fact that our tolerance levels have dropped compared to 10 or 20 years ago perhaps. A fast paced world demands a fast paced individual, so chances of gettin bored, irritated and annoyed with your partner are more likely. This often drives us away from our partners perhaps even making us look for excitement elsewhere or in other forms. You have to keep thinking of new projects or new experiments to come up with to make sure the chemistry doesn't fade away. So why do we get married? Do we marry for love or money? Or do we really just want to marry for compatibility?
