As i sat here reading
this post & then
this post... i was reminded of the rising divorce rates in Singapore (and across the world, generally).
Its an alarming trend and i suppose its being driven by changes in the value systems of the younger generations. We are brought up differently and ignore tradition for the sake of satisfying our individualistic and selfish needs. When the seas get rough, the easiest route is to bail out.
Perhaps, the way forward is for the gahment to introduce a 'test-drive' system for marriages... 'try before you buy'... the only problem is trouble can brew from the very beginning if you meet an SF who is a SYT, while test-driving your future spouse...
