That's a pretty narrow minded attitude you have.......too bad you never met MY mom.
I'm not narrow-minded. I just use common sense and I had the benefit of good parents and religious instruction. My parents had a successful marriage, with its ups and downs, but devoted to each other and to my brother and I. They were married at the beginning of WWII, and they struggled to be sure, but they had each other and they were in love. This was at a time when morals and the family unit were intact. But times were hard, and the future uncertain. And so it goes, to this day. The point is to make a plan of action for your future and follow that plan. Don't listen to others tell you otherwise. And stick to the plan. Think enough of yourself to be the best you can be. Marriage is NOT obsolete..it works for the benefit of the man and woman and their children. Any thing less and you're fooling yourself. This is what I have learned in life, and it's never foolish to listen to sage advice. :)
