Interesting that blacks seem to understand the value of marriage more than whites...possibly because many (if not most) of them are on the receiving end of single-parent households.
Interesting that marriage is no longer really valued by critical masses of Americans.
Many of us can recall a time when it was scandalous if couples lived together outside marriage. Many of us can remember a time when it was scandalous to be pregnant without a husband.
There are huge social problems which have resulted from these new attitudes, such as children not having fathers in the home, and the related “feminization” of poverty we hear about.
Yet if anyone talks about such issues, he will be crucified. Remember the reaction to Dan Quayle bringing up these issues?
“but many Repubs are ok with it:”
No problem here and I’m sure Freepers did the same thing. Why is there a stigma called “living in sin”? Are they living as fags?
“The share of adults who have lived with a romantic partner is now higher than the share who have ever been married;”
I can’t believe women buy into this. In a noncommittal relationship, they always seem to get the bad end of the deal if it fails, e.g. one maybe two kiddos to take care of.
Epicurean neo pagan hedonism leads to decadence and cultural dissolution. A rational, observant person need not consult the conclusions of contemporary social scientists but need only to read history to understand what is happening in America. Put another way the Democratic Party does not exist in a cultural or social vacuum. Sadly for America a country with a majority of Democrats, wherever and whenever they came to dominate, could never survive as a republic.
Do people who go to Christian services ever hear about sexual sin anymore from the pulpit?
since its for my health, I will ask my doctor for a prescription for a really hot sex partner
and send the bill to medicare!
I think it mainly has to do with how the law is so stacked against men.
Is this article written in 1989? lol
Trend will continue until we stop paying benefits to “single” mothers and make partners responsible. Nephew, married with two children, had serious medical bills for his kids that almost bankrupted him. He sold his house to pay off debts and started over. Meanwhile, a relative of a relative, lives in sin with three children. She gets monthly support and free medical care and never has to bust her butt. Seems to me we send a message to our kids that you’re a fool to work hard to achieve when you should be working to beat the system.
