Well, with a worldly point of view that appears logical, as “society” is the arbiter of values and “society” is saying loud and clear with its actions that marriage is going the way of the dodo. Those, like myself, with a theistic point of view (and not just theoretical theistic) will still value marriage.

It’s not just upto you to value marriage. Your generation has had its time. You are lucky if you found someone sharing your values.

The 80+ percent of 18-year olds who have indulged in premarital sex (sex after three dates is more-or-less a norm) failed to value it. The remainder have a chance. And for how long? A decent career takes at least until age 25 to stabilise. What are your chances of finding someone who upholds the value of marriage, by then? Exceptions exist, but the norm trends towards the meaninglessness and futility in betting on a stable marriage for such a generation.

Those born past 1990 are going to face the brunt of this changed social dynamics. I doubt they have the fortitude to fare well in the upcoming chaos.
