How worldly wise and self confident this new generation is in their ways. Never doubting themselves that their denigration of the institution of marriage is justified. Never considering that this institution is absolutely fundamental to the success of nations, families, and individuals. No, they have evolved far beyond their predecessors and know much more than 6000 years of human history could teach!
This current generation is being fattened for the slaughter. Strong two parent households are the single greatest predictor of wealth. Yet this generation is choosing "Europe" over faith. There is no greater way to dishonor your parents than to forgo marriage and kill family name. As a result, there will be no end to the amount of government handouts needed by this self confident, self righteous generation. It will only end in poverty, disease, barren wombs, war, and death. Even now the birds of prey are sharpening their talons. Can you see them?
Revelation 19:17 - And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
Very well-said, Jan.
As the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.No need to wonder what the antediluvian days were like.
Matthew 24:37/Luke 17:26
Marriage is over and done with! All that will be left of that is the state extracting payment in “dollars” for any resulting kids. Everyone will go on their own way!
Scary
How very sad. People are likely going to find two out of these three things -- alone, and successful.
The happiness will elude them as they bounce from one travel buddy to the next until they are used up emotionally and sexually. And then you're forty or so with not much to show.
There was an obituary that recently went viral. The woman wrote about being born, blinking, and then facing a terminal illness. In that obit she said her most cherished memories were through her family relationships.
Yes, not all people should marry, but many are actively seeking to avoid marriage simply to have more for themselves, such as traveling Europe. In other times some would refer to this as hedonism.
Yes, well said.
This isn’t just happening in America, but all over the developed world. And no one has found a way to stop it.
John B. Calhoun had a clear vision of the human future that most have forgotten. The apocolypse won’t come as a war, or climate change, or drama. It will be people voluntarily deciding not to continue the human race.
Parents ( the bride's ) usually pay for the wedding, are they going to pay for this little girl's European tour? Did they also pay for her college degree in egocentrism ?
The millenials that I know (friends of my daughters) are getting married in droves. Some have already been divorced.
Big talk. All college kids talk this way. The rub is, "as long as I'm happy."
Once you're out of your early 20s, different things make you happyit happens first among the women. They're not queens of the universe anymore, and they get practical so fast, it makes your poor male head spin.
Marriage survives because of self-interestenlightened, wise, far-seeing self-interest. When government doesn't put itself in the way, marriage not only survives, but dominates.
Aint that the truth!
Feminism has destroyed the American Way of life, funny but sad part is, the vast majority of women that bought in to this crap end up lonely and bitter as they approach 40, and stay that way forever. Most will drop their pants on Hello, just for companionship. But Men won’t take them, except for a night.
I wouldn’t put much stock in what these young women say. It’s sour grapes... Young men are revolting at this point and they couldn’t find a husband if their life depended on it.
I’d rather be alone and happy - and not even particularly successful - than be married to today’s journalism major. Can you imagine the horror of being married to someone like Candace Monacelli?
How many signs do we need to tell us we are near the end of the age, end times? Among other things, we see society accelerating in the direction of forbidding to marry (from spiritual, social, & family breakdown & part of the end game of the gay agenda) and commanding to abstain from meats (the rise of PITA, animal rights, and environmentalism).
Journalism students,what else would she expect.
She should talk to students studying for real jobs.......
... I’m OK being single forever. As long as I’m happy.”
This is a plan if you can stay 22 forever.
