Ancient and modern marriage
Another monster the modern way of life gave birth to. It is a monster indeed and it has nothing in common with marriage of ancient times. It is right to state that some changes should be brought to marriage but not those huge changes. The changes brought to modern marriage turned it into business deal but not the sacred union of two loving people.
That dating services, that sale men and women, those marriage settlements that are implementation of lack of trust, that thirstiness for successful career and a number of other stuff turned marriage into polarity for marriage. See, a few people nowadays care about feelings, about mutual respect towards each other and about human features of each other.
They mostly care about having someone to grow old with in case if they will need someone to pass them a glass of water. An ancient marriage was a union of two loving people (in most cases). People felt in love with each other and their only desire were to spend their lives together, and they were never thinking about divorce or else.
Though, nowadays marriage is a deal and it is confirmed by settlement. In other words, people you "love each" other believe in their divorce more than they believe in their life. Subconsciously they are sure they will separate and they sign a settlement to know who will get more money, and not a single word about love is said.
