Like I said, two sides to the story. Marriage should not be entered into lightly. It's a serious, life-long commitment. A big part of why there is such a deterioration of marriage and families is because of the lack of respect for sex only being within a marriage. Fidelity, sexual purity, chastity before marriage are all maybe old-fashioned ideas but they are designed by God for the good of mankind. Nowadays, it seems everyone just expects couples to have sex before they even know someone very well much less waiting until marriage. This attitude has been a big part of the destruction of marriage and society will continue to suffer because of it. It's why abortion kills over a million unborn babies every year in America. It's why 75% of Black children, 55% of Hispanics, 30% of Whites and over 40% of all children today are born to single mothers and most never know their fathers much less are provided for financially. It is why sexually transmitted diseases continue to flourish. Our society is circling the drain and it goes back to the disintegration of the family unit. Where's it gonna stop?

I heard a stat from a Christian pastor that 57% of millennial mothers are giving birth out of wedlock. I think Sweden is a possible future for us. I heard most people there don’t even bother to get married. A man and woman just move in together. If she gets pregnant she will likely stay unmarried.

I feel like an anomaly among men. When I was looking to get remarried I did care about a woman’s past. But when I asked guys (I stopped because it’s not a popular topic) if they knew how many sexual partners their wives had before, most said something like “no and I don’t care” or “no and I don’t want to know”. I think that attitude exists because they have a past with other women.

I don’t really know why the women go along with the men’s desire to have no strings sex. But the men today are happier than before per a happiness survey done in 1970 and again in 2010. The women, less happy.
