They are about people in relationships trying to decide their commitment level to being in the relationship.<br /><br />It does seem that they suggest staying unmarried or childless an option that will provide them with greater flexibility or time to do things that would be difficult with children or may be more complicated with another person.<br /><br />However, I say fair play for the following reasons. 1)There is a high divorce rate in this nation. Seems to me many people may be deciding to get married and then realizing it was a mistake for them. Maybe people should be encouraged to think twice before making that commitment. 2)There are many aspects in this culture that suggest marriage is a right of passage into adulthood and that something is wrong if you stay single. These commercials just seem to turn that table a bit, which is refreshing to me.Ruthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03252154462409861368noreply@blogger.com
