Consumerism has taken over the institution of marriage.Today married partners are not prepared to be tolerant and adjusting.To keep a marriage ticking requires a lot of work by both partners, taking it granted leads to break up.If a relationship is based on weak foundation it will break up irrespective of work pressure, high end lifestyle,affluence.I see it as a parenting issue.Probably we as parents are too busy in our own agendas of life and give very little time and attention to parenting.The attention and effort we spend on parenting is mostly out of guilt - to make amends to lack of time and attention we pamper are the children to no end.Instead of making efforts to imbibe good values and how one can be a responsibile member of the family and society we spend our energies, money and effort on non-consequential priorities and this way set a wrong precedent for the children. Marriage breakups are taking place up everywhere and blaming ITEE/BPOS sector alone will not be a appropriate.A marriage based on understanding,respect and spirit of sacrifice and adjustment will survive in any given situation.So lets stop blaming work areas /sectors for being responsible for braek up of marriages instead lets try to be good parents and imbibe good values in our children.
