If you are married or have been married and you are between 20-35 you may answer the following yourself. If you never married or you are not between 20-35 then get answers from someone who is married or has been and is between 20-35. It would be even better, but not necessary, to talk with a couple in their 20’s/early 30’s. You must note the age of the person(s) who responded and how long they have been married. Also please note the question number, but you do not need to type out the question unless it is a question you added. You need to get well-thought out responses here. If the total for all 11 responses is less than 500 words, then get/give more information, ask them to elaborate, add questions if need be. Questions do not count as part of word count.   Not too long ago you were in your adolescent years. What were those years like for you?  What did you learn about marriage from observing your parents? What were you attracted to in your wife/husband/partner that made you want to get married?  How has your relationship changed since you first got married? Would you say your spouse is different from the person you knew before you married?  Many couples now live together before marriage and some never marry but continue to live together. What is your opinion about this trend? What are the most important things that couples should discuss and things they should decide on before getting married?  Is marriage just what you thought it would be or have there been a few surprises? Explain. We all know that divorce rates are high. What do you think would be a good way to decrease this situation?   Often couples consider adultery as the only grounds for getting a divorce. If a spouse is faithful, but has changed in ways that drastically affects your happiness and is not willing to change, would you consider that grounds for divorce? If so, what are some of those things that you would be unwilling to live with? Did the two of you talk about this before marriage?   Same sex marriage is a major social and political topic currently. Do you think same sex couples should be allowed to marry? Do you think same sex couples can be as deeply in love a heterosexual couples? If we accepted same sex marriage, do you think more people would decide to become homosexual?
