What do you feel is the reason that there are so many broken engagements?
t b, who says there are so many? How many are there a year relative to couples who get married per year?
dating for short periods of time definitely!!!!
this generation – the disposable generation…
We can only guess the reasons.
Theres more of everything bad unfortunately…. cancer,heart disease, young deaths, divorce, selfishness, assorted scandals, … But there’s more positive than we’ve ever had, as well, more Torah Lishma, chesed, kiruv, selflessness, bravery, etc in the frum community as well. We’re a bigger community than we’ve ever been…
What do you rather Divorces?
Too much speaking and spending time together during the engagement
So why is your question why are there so many broken engagments, and you dont ask about divorces?
Too much speaking and spending time together during the engagement
I can’t argue with that. After all, if you never talk, you’ll never have a reason to break it.
Of course if you never get married, you could never get divorced.
Popa, I usually am enlightened by your comments. I disagree with this one.
Too much talking during engagement, especially if its a long engagement, can lead to lots of frustration. Desires exist and are aroused, but have to be shut down. It can lead to feeling frustrated at the “situation”, and eventually, at the future spouse.
Too much speaking and spending time together during the engagement- don’t forget to mention eye contact as well…
Popa
A realization that she may be fat.
Or a realization that he may be vulgar.
it is soooo easy to get engaged….
I did not realize that there were many broken engagements. Sad. But it’s better now than later.
Its the internets fault!!!
