"Marry that man who calls you after a fight just to tell you that no matter how complicated you two make things, he won't leave you."
In 2018, 7,256 people got married in Slovenia, 32.6 years, the average age of the groom at the time of the first marriage was 32.6 years, and the average age of the bride was 30.5 years. 2,347 people decided to divorce. For comparison: a year earlier, 6,481 people got married and 2,387 divorced. From this we can conclude that it is divorce in slight decline. This does not mean that marriages are more successful, harmonious, happy. The Higher Perspective portal listed some interesting reasons why marriages don't work as well as they used to.
Shared finances are crippling us
Why should finances be shared? Financial burdens can destroy a marriage, and then there is the financial burden of divorce. Of course, we should help each other maintain financial stability, but at the end of the day, it's not a duty!
We are more connected, but at the same time even more alienated from each other
With the phone, you can instantly send a message to your partner on the other side of the world. With this, we are connected more than ever before, distance is no longer a barrier to communication. But this often becomes a problem when social networks overwhelm human proximity. So let's communicate face-to-face and put away smart devices for a moment.
Our sexuality is under attack
Points 1 and 2 lead to point 3, the decline of sexuality. Sex is important in a relationship. When the sex disappears, you know the marriage won't last much longer.
Some people need attention more than love
Of course not all, some. And they only want likes on social networks, more than their partner's love. Constantly posting your photos and waiting for likes and comments from strangers is really not the best way to spend time with your partner. If you are married, stop looking for attention elsewhere, look for it and find it at home, with your partner.
