This live-your-life-while-you-have-it mentality is why our society has so many social and financial issues--high
divorce rates, children out of wedlock, broken homes and families, extra-marital affairs in over 50% of marriages, domestic violence and abuse, abandonment, and overwhelming credit card debt.
Not many people seem to care that promises, committment and love are worth fighting for and saving when times get tough and/or tempting.
