How can we attribute one particular factor to this trend? I do not think we can, falling church attendance, lack of a moral and ethical framework, teenage sexual promiscuity and gangster culture role models, nuclear family is a thing of the past........

WHY ARE WE SURPSIED THAT MATRIMONY IS FADING FAST?

Great post, there isn't much wisdom in this thread, nice to find a bit of it. To put all the blame on "women" or "the feminist movement" is INCREDIBLY short-sighted. Society has gone through some incredible changes since World War I and continues to change for the worse at an incredibly rapid pace.

Thanks DameAutour :-)

My husband is a former marine and full time football coach and dad. I work full time in a research lab, BUT we share the same values in life some people would call old fashioned values. This is why we will never divorce, or why I do the housework and have dinner waiting for him when he comes home. (it would ruin my impression of him as a strapping marine to see him with a feather duster or baking ingredients in his hand LOL)He still opens doors for me. We go to church.....

Does this mean I am servile or exploited ?? Arrggghhh the politically correct buffoons of the 80's and 90's have a lot to answer for.
