"Why bother to get married any more? Especially with such high divorce rates."
I guess I'm a traditionalist. I'm in favor of marriage. It add stability to a relationship, especially if there are children. Now, I never had children, but I'm sure happy to be married to a wonderful woman.
Oh, I think marriage is extremely important, especially if you want children. But being a realist, I see it becoming less and less important to the younger generation. So many children have siblings they don't even know. I don't expect it to get better any time soon.
