Modern medicine including antibiotics, starting with penicillin, has decreased infant, childhood and early adult mortality to the point that you don’t need to parent 10 children in order to assure that two survive. This is the real economic change affecting marital stability.

“Modern medicine... to the point that you don’t need to parent 10 children in order to assure that two survive. ”

You are completely missing the point Mr. Charles Darwin. This is not about mere ‘survival’ and that wasn’t God’s point in instituting marriage and sex either.
