What’s the point of it these days?

If you’re a young person and you want to get married, it helps if you’re in an insular community where you can find your spouse. Otherwise, there’s no point.

Especially what’s the point of it if the young woman is a crazy, hysterical liberal ninny?

Sad for the next generation of children....lack of a stable two-parent family.

There have been some threads on this site, about how marriage is a bad deal for men nowadays.

I can understand the decline in marriage based on some factors we see in our culture:

1. as noted, many men see being legally married as a bad deal, when you get into divorce court, especially.

2. Many young women today don’t want marriage either, as they are pursuing careers, and don’t feel the need for marriage. And many, until their biological clock is running in their 30s and 40s, think that they will either never want children and a husband, or that they still have plenty of time to think about that in the future.

3. Neither men nor women want to be married or tied down. They have seen many bad marriages among family and friends, and don’t want to fall into that trap.

4. Many young men and women are, can we say, self centered or hedonistic. They can’t imagine a life with children and being tied down, because they want to go to Macchu Pichu(sp?) and go on vacation trips, and out to nightclubs. Again, they just don’t want to be tied down.

The point of marriage is to have a healthy, growing, prosperous economy.

Without marriage it is impossible to have happy normal families. Without marriage society devolves into what we have now. A Welfare State. The point of marriage is to avoid poverty, ignorance, dependence on the government and to get personally richer.

I could go on and on and on. If anyone really cannot see the value of marriage, then they’ve cucked themselves into believing the femi-nazis and the liberals as they have redefined what marriage really is.

Knowledge is power.

It appears that the number of marriages mirrors church attendance. According to Gallop the percentage of Americans claiming to be religious was:
1998/2000 - 90%
2016/2000 - 77%
- those claiming no religion was:
1998/2000 - 8%
2016/2000 - 19%

It seems we have lost our way along the way!!
