LIFE (PART 2) | Boomer Marriage | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/lifepart2 It seems that Boomers have changed the traditional vows of "for better or worse" to "for better, and better." Therapist Terrence Real (The New Rules of Marriage: What You Need to Know to Make Love Work) discusses how baby boomers are changing the face of marriage. The new season of LIFE (PART 2) is coming to PBS Fall 2009 and online at http://www.pbs.org/lifepart2 . LIFE (PART 2) offers lively conversation from an eclectic mix of writers, thinkers, performers, and ordinary people, on how they can overcome the obstacles that come with aging to live a vibrant and fulfilling second part of life.

humans fail not their petty small little religions, its the fact that most people ( men and women ) are failures.

[cairolnn]

Women today always think they can live alone.they don't care about family.they only think of themselves...

[ncfwhitetigress]

But why are these women dissatisfied?

[zer0nix]

society has evolved. women and men are the same today as ever; it is the values, motivations, and choices available that have changed and empowered many women.

[zer0nix]

i think a much better word is 'wisdom.'

'rule' insinuates a subversion of choice.

[Athenaikos]

I don't think he meant it as a blame. I think what he meant is that women have evolved and men not so. Otherwise said, women are the survivors, men are struggling.

[Athenaikos]

I think is quite simple. We are facing a transitional period during which past rules don't apply. New steady rules have not emerged yet.

[voyeurdug]

"70% of divorce instituted by women."  Wouldn't doubt it... wonder how many marriages are insisted on by the woman?

[internazisuite]

Thats a great analogy of the failure of Christianity in modern society.
