i think marriage as lost its necessity and value

"Wolfgang Puck in divorce
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Restaurateur and designer Barbara Lazaroff has filed for divorce from Wolfgang Puck after 19 years of marriage to the celebrity chef.

Lazaroff filed a petition for dissolution of marriage based on "irreconcilable differences," said her lawyer, Harold Stanton. The divorce was filed in Superior Court on November 27. "

i read stuff like this every day. in fact, i just heard of a break up of a seven year relationship earlier this week. i'm so distraught by this phenomenon of "irreconcilable differences." what is this? what's the point of getting married? was the 7, 10, 19, or even 25 years good enough. is it okay that marriages are just a temporary partnership? that's how it is appearing to me.

how about instead of getting married, people just sign 5-15 year contracts with each other that is up for negotiations 6 months prior to the end of the contract. i guess i just don't get the big deal about marriage anymore when divorce is just as common and multiple marriages are the norm. in leu of these sorts of facts, why the hell am i being pressured to get married?
