Romantic relationships are generally less stable than they used to be. There has been a marked increase in divorce rates in most Western societies over the last 50 years.

Relationships are like endangered species. It’s becoming increasingly harder to find lasting relationships that enhance the quality of life. Over the last fifty years, the tight American family unit as we once knew it or heard about , has significantly deteriorated. Families, and especially extended families, are spread out across the nation. Two parent families have become single parent households at an alarming rate.  The new normal is for kids to be shuffled back and forth between parents living apart.  Parents are working more hours spending less time at home with their children. Uber is replacing carpools.  Order groceries, apparel and virtually anything a person desires online and it will be delivered faster than if you went to the store yourself. Although it is easier than ever to get in touch with people, we are doing a lot less talking. People opt for texting over talking, even if they are within reach. 

Though there are many positives to a rapidly expanding technological world, there are negatives as well. Communication is becoming obsolete. The world is so automated that it is losing the human touch. With that comes the price of isolation and loneliness. A person can have hundreds, even thousands of “friends” on social media yet be lucky if they have a couple of real, true relationships.  People are finding it increasingly difficult to cultivate and nurture relationships of any kind. Families, couples and friends are very disconnected.
