It’s no surprise to me that the sanctity of marriage means so little to generations younger than the baby boomers.

Good point...I would add it didn’t mean much to us boomers either.

True. I truly admire the devotion to commitment to marriage demonstrated by the "greatest generation". I've seen it firsthand many times in my own family. That's just not there to as great an extent in subsequent generations. So which came first: the decline in commitment to marriage or Uncle Sam stepping in and taking up the slack which wasn't being provided by the marriage partners?

This is the generation that narrowly escaped being aborted.
