This is the centerpiece of the liberal/feminist/communist destruction of the USA - break the family down.
...
I would never get married while living in the USA - why? The potential minuses far out weight the potential pluses (unfortunately).

Now that will do a lot to help build the family up.

NOT.

How about being as certain as you can be that you will stay married before you get married and then work at it?

Otherwise you're just aiding and abetting the liberals/feminists/communists.

Meanwhile, the tax eaters and the Muslims are out breeding the productive.

Who on their wedding day does not think that it will last forever? Your point is not completely off however as I believe that far too many people don’t understand that marriage takes work, a lot of it.

Your points are so valid and gut-wretching, but you have to play the way the game is played now, not 50 years ago.

If you fight a war today using the tactics of the Civil War era, you will be blown into pieces and killed.

Marriage, in it's current form, after constant assault from every freak group possible over the past 45+ years is a HUGE gamble that a person will most likely lose. Big congrats to those that make it, they are truly blessed!

The days of the ‘Leave It To Beaver’ family are long gone, and barring some seismic shift, ain't coming back. It totally sucks, but it is the reality of the situation.

Closing the barn door after the horse has left and been attacked by a pack of coyotes and left to rot in the sun for a week. Sane people simply aren't going to take the risk of marriage anymore. Nor should they given the disincentives.
