Exactly.

The biggest danger, of course, is that marriage overall is diminished. Anybody and anything can get married. A once sacred act of love is reduced to a MacDonald’s Happy Meal.

So why go to trouble of getting married at all? Cohabitation rules. Children and civilization be damned. Such is the case in Sweden.

It’s true all over Europe, and to a lesser extent in the U.S.. People have commitment issues, and no-fault divorce makes marriage an insane liability should a divorce happen. I say all over Europe because my Grandmother noted to me how common it is in Austria, and I have noted its’ commonality in Spain. Then in thw U.S., well half of my graduating high school class had at least a kid ten years later, but only a fraction of those with at least a kid actually were married.
