It’s just something that occurred to me. You disagree?

Think about why they do this. The root of all the issues revolving around the breakdown of the family

If you are really curious and want to do honest research unlike 98% of people regarding this problem, download Humanae Vitae and read it. It will take one to to hours.

“verbiage that solidified my confirmation into the Catholic Church and leaving the cultural confines of American Evangelicalism”

Think you’ve got some problems. More Catholics I’ve met have marriages devoid of Christ than Evangelicals.

“It’s actually the Protestant worldview even more than the secular that has made celibacy out to be such a dirty concept.”

Celibacy isn’t working out too well for the Catholic Church. It isn’t a dirty concept, but neither is it what many are called to.

He’s been very successful and he has little competition in the field of competence , capability and capacity.
He is what America needs to be America again.

marriage is a picture of Christ and His Church

As a picture of Christ and the church, the disintegration of marriage shows us the sad state of the church, and lack of commitment to Christ.

I think your soul mate observation is correct. There are too high of expectations about finding your ideal mate in TV, books, and movies. The Bible says there is no marriage in heaven, so we should not expect to find a soul mate here on earth.

In addition, the Bible councils remaining married to an unbeliever in certain circumstances. Can an believer be a soul mate with an unbeliever?

Did Hosea marry his soul mate at God’s command.

Fornication is a sin but we as a society has normalized it. Most young people wouldn’t wait to get married until finishing their education and settle in careers if fornication was viewed as much a sin as racism or pollution.

“viewed as much a sin“

Do we tell God what us and is not a sin?
