Spending four years in casual relationships that are intimate but yet not really intimate, relationships that are transient and just expected to have a nebulous, finite duration ... expected to drift into nothingness at some point ... I find it very hard to believe that this won't result in an increase in our already staggeringly high divorce rates.

People need to figure out that the dominant social patterns (the "everybody's doing it" concepts) are ALL geared toward hurting society. Drugs, divorce, casual sex, homosexuality, porn, whatever. Civilization is under assault and saying "tish, tish it's always been this way" is a good way to show people that you've bought into the lie.

ClearCase_guy's comments are right on target.

And there are many reasons why over history, sex has been restricted to marriage. Not that everyone followed this standard - but it was always the standard; leaving out various barbarian and pagan cultures. Stable family life with sex restriced to marriage is the basic foundation of civilized human existence.
