| Considering the times of the depression up until now, what age in history do your believe society enjoyed more happily married couples?
(Please comment the reason for the peroid you chose) |
| |
| in the 30's |
| |
| 1930-1950 |
| |
| I believe that as a whole there is no age in history that the majority of marriages were considered happy. |
| |
1920 to1950 people had a very strong beleif in the bible and what it teaches about marriage.
There are so many couples today who havn't even picked up a bible or gone to church. |
| |
| the 50's b/c they all knew how to work together and they didn't seem to give up on each other so easily. they didn't just say in good times and bad,they really meant it. |
| |
| Perhaps in the '50s, but I doubt that the percentage of "happy" marriages was really any greater than today. Unhappy couples stayed together because it was so hard to get a divorce. |

1950
My parents told me that people back then were happier than now. no one was breaking up . Divorce was not common at all at that time. |
| |
| 1930's-1950's |
| |
| I'm not sure |
| |
| I believe that there were longer marriages in the 50s-70s...but, not happier |
| |
| well I am told the 50's was a more innocent age for people so that would also apply to marraiges. I believe however that I read somewhere recently that divorce has dropped off considerably for my childrens generation. I honestly do not know the stats for any time period, so I cannot comment on this question with any authority. Having said that, Frankly I wonder if there ever was an age where more couples were happily married. I have been married for 29 years to the same man! and I would marry him again tomorrow if he asked me and in fact he actually did ask just last year if I would like to get married again! I think though, that we are an exception to the rule, and infact he is my THIRD husband,and I his second wife, so arriving at this happy place was not without it's pitfalls! Maybe "a time in history when the weight of happily married couples versus unhappy" has not happened yet. As I said earlier, maybe my childrens generation is the generation that will win that title! I do honestly believe that this may very well turn out to be the case. Most of the children in my sons generation were children of some very extended families. I think the term "extended families" was coined during this time period, and I remember how confusing trying to sort out some of those extended families could be. Often, when a child is subjected to the sorrow of growing up in a divorced situation, they become adamant about avoiding that situation as adults. |

| I will say 1950's-1960's. Then we thought we were married for life. Now it's for hours! |
| |
| I would have to say the fortys. WWII was over and people appreciated one another more. |
| |
| I say back in the old West - when divorce was rarely spoken of. |
| |
| probably the 60's |
| |
| in the 1930's- 1950's. |
| |
| i do not know |
| |
| Wow tough question, but I would say the 80's because it was more acceptible to leave a bad marriage while still viewed as a positive thing to be married. |
| |
| i would say the 60s woman started receiving more rights men were open to this |
| |
| 1950's There were traditional families, people cared about people, there was respect. People had the common sense in how to raise a family and did. |
