I do want to clarify that I do not believe a relationships should be consumer although I agree my post made a very strong reference to that. In fact, a large reason for failed marriages is a result of society's shift towards being more consumer oriented in their relationship views.

To be fair, I think we'd agree that most people are more consumer when they are younger and typically 'grow up' or 'mature' into a conventional way of thinking.

Most woman at 20 years old are looking for very different qualities then at 30.
For a lot of men, this is also true. This is a car forum so I used the car example since it's an easy analogy.

Consumer vs. conventional is also something in general behaviors as well. Consumerism is generally geared towards teens and young adults as a general rule.
