Modern Human Longevity Harms Marriage Statistics

Interesting twist. It's true that if we are going to live longer we will have to take better care of everything - our bodies, our finances, our marriages, so they will last for the long haul.

Just like we invest money for our retirement, we have to invest in our marriages at all the stages of our lives. What better investment?

More time after marrying means more time for a divorce. Also, longer lives mean that people can wait longer to get married and can live longer as widows, widowers, or divorcees, thereby increasing the number of "ummarried" households in statistics.

Every person is judged by the way they treat others and the animals they have in their care.

There are many pet owners but few pet lovers. When a person takes on the responsibility of a dog,cat,bird or whatever they are taking that life into their hands. Dogs are especially vulnerable because they are so loyal to their masters. Even if the master beats them,starves them or neglects their needs the dog will still be their ready to give affection and loyalty beyond measure.It is my strong belief that a man who abuses his animals will abuse their wive's,kids and anyone else in their life. They seem to lack the moral turpitude to feel compassion for anyone or anything but themselves.Usually miserable people in general.

I have a neighbor who falls into this category. He appears to be intelligent but sorrowfully lacks any people skills at all and is most abusive to the dog in his back yard. Even being sited and fined by animal control has done nothing to improve the conditions of the animal. It seems this sub-man uses this poor animal to wreak vengeance on those around him who truly care for animals and do what they can for this poor dog.

There will be day of reckoning and this person will have to answer for his misdeeds in the after world and hopefully the law will mete out justice in this world.
