Make it fit

I noticed today, as I was packing the back of a truck that I had a knack for making things fit into place. Like a gigantic game of tetras almost, one could say. If there was a round hole,I would most defiantly figure out a way to make a square box fit. I am almost 100 percent certain, that anyone would find the determination to make something fit into a space, in order to make things easier (ie making one trip instead of two). However, when it comes to a relationships, people tend to let their determination dwindle.
In relationships, today, there is a definite noticeable difference between both, younger couples and older couples. Presently speaking, about one in three marriages ends in divorce. A sea of people defeated by their differences and the unwillingness to work things out. For the older generation, marriages for the most part, tend to last. Why is this? Has the modern world, thrown away the simple rules of understanding and acceptance? Has our culture become so fast paced that staying in relationship for more that two minutes became impossible? Did the modern relationship develop a severe case of ADD?
Your answer, yes. Today, not only is it hard to find someone with common interests; it is twice as easy shrug someone off for the slightest "weird" thing, and then treat them as if they never existed. Back in the day, when a man clipped his toe nails in bed, the women would simply clean the bed sheets. Today, if a man clips his toe nails in bed, it requires a large divorce settlement. People of today, are so eager to throw in the towel and wave the white flag of defeat. After all, such Television media such as Sex in the City, Cougarville and Entourage tell modern society, that relationships are about as expendable as owning a box of tampons.
