In today’s society, more than 50% of all marriages fail for one reason or another. Just thinking about that makes “commitment” seem scary. It seems that when relationships are faced with\u003cbr\u003echallenges, people quit trying. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDating is more like a marathon, trying to date as many people as possible, instead of taking time to get to know someone at a deeper level.
