According to the marriages and divorces 2016 report, released late 2018 there was an increase in divorces between 2012 to 2016, with Western Cape having the highest number of divorces granted. The report also stated that 55.0% of the divorces involved children below the age of 8. Reading the stats and some chats with friends who are open about not ever wanting marriage, we decided to ask you the GLAMOUR readers what you thought about the subject.
Just because there seems to be doom and gloom around marriage, are you throwing in the towel when it comes to it or do you still believe in it?
Here's what you said;
I believe in marriage and love, but it's so hard to find- Lee via Instagram
Yes. I am married to my best friend and it's amazing! Our growth together is beautiful to watch- Dudu
No. People change and at times if you are married you feel trapped to be with them. I would rather live with my partner and we both have our own places, so that if it doesn't work we can call it quits without the drama of divorce- Anon.
I am a hopeless romantic and I hope one day to marry my king- Charlie.
I believe in marriage and will get married, but as with everything, I marriage and relationships have evolved and as long as my partner and I can agree to a definition that makes us both happy, that's all that matters- Sandra via Instagram
You choose what you make of marriage these days. It's more than just life imprisonment- Khanyi
We also asked you via Twitter in a poll and here's how you responded;
And looking at the answers and the poll, it seems us GLAMOUR girls are still believers of love and in no time will be taking our own advice from our wedding pages.
