“... liberal-feminist dominated court system.”
...combined with “no fault” divorce enable some of the “70%” unhappy women to walk out for those supposedly greener pa$ture$. The reality is that the perceived cash benefit of divorce is short lived, it typically decreases the initiating divorcee’s long term financial and emotional health.
If a marriage were built on mutual, unconditional love, it would seem any perceived financial incentive (albeit short term) for divorce would not be a consideration. Also, the impact of our declining culture, corrupted political institutions, our entitlement mentality, “right” to be happy and self-fulfilled, free sex, etc etc has reinforced the devaluation of marriage.
Dating used to be the process in part, to find and know the person to whom one might want to commit oneself because of shared core values. The current version of dating for some has evolved to entertaining oneself with another human being’s body, money and time. The show Two & A Half Men reinforces this false value through Sheen’s character.
I copied your excellent assessment of dating and will be sharing it with the young people in my life. Thank you for a clear and concise statement.
On the contrary, Sheen's character was successful, took pride in his achievements, did not care what others thought and refused to be tied down to one woman. He appreciated sluts for what they were and treated them as such. That character is to be emulated by single men.
