None of you have mentioned ambition as a reason for lack of lasting marriages? People don't want to get committed to marriages or long-term relationships because success these days doesn't focus around forming a stable family but around material achievement, and acquisition of fame and money. This doesn't just apply to men - women are much more empowered today and also share similar dreams of success and fame. That's why people are seeking simple short-term pleasure-based relationships. :rolleyes:
