I said it was a decent point, but that he didn’t emphasize that the point has absolutely nothing to do with the reason for marriage.
I am going to have to partly disagree with you on the ‘reason for marriage’. Children are one of the reasons but a bigger one, the FIRST one (if you are a bible believing christian) is that a man was not meant to live alone and needed a partner and helpmeet. A big reason for divorce is that we don’t teach what marriage really means and is really for (yes children are a huge part of that). Look at the article and he mentions that in surveys one reason people get divorced is that they got ‘lost in the roles’. What does that even mean? I am guessing it means people got into marriage having no idea what marriage was really about; what it was FOR. As a society we watered it down to ‘love’ and ‘companionship’ and ZERO else.... and they were surprised when young people just decided to cohabitate instead. We obliterated the whole concept of gender roles and differences so it is no wonder people have forgotten the POINT of being married.
