Some marriage and sociology experts regard television as portraying marriage as unrealistic, others see it as a realistic portrayal of the cultural background.
Rutgers Sociologist David Popenoe: "It really provides a very unrealistic view of what marriage is. The standard becomes so high it's easy to bail out if you didn't find a soul mate."

Greg Godek, author of "1001 Ways to Be Romantic": "TV creates part of the cultural background. The concept of searching for a soul mate has become much more mainstream... Most of television is about sound bites and that model for communicating is at odds with what it means to be human."
