Both sexes are to blame for this situation. I think the primary cause for dissolution of the American family is that many people expect perfection and instant gratification. Nobody is perfect. Expecting that in other people is unreasonable and will lead to disappointment. Our desires and expectations are formed from our cultural influences and these forces are not kind to the idea of sacrifice and commitment. There are good people out there and traditional marriage is still possible, but the numbers of such people seems to be dwindling all the time.

Reminds me of a song by Mr. Mister called “The Tube.”
THE TUBE

Hi dear, what’s on tonight
Let’s stay up and watch the tube
And bask in the big blue light
Bye bye real life, checking into checking out
It’s saturation time
Perfect faces, perfect background, perfect everything
I wanna live in a dream that is never ending
I wanna love all the wasted time I’m spending
Tonight I can take it all the way
Because tonight, I’m everything I wanted to be
Well dear, it’s a good thing
I don’t have to look at you
And you don’t have to look at me
I think that’s a good thing
We’re perfect strangers, perfect ohh, perfect everything
I wanna live in a dream that is never ending
I wanna love all the wasted time I’m spending
Tonight I can take it all the way
Because tonight, I’m everything I wanted to be
I wanna live, I wanna live
I wanna live in a dream that is never ending
Tonight I can take it good
I wanna love all the wasted time I’m spending
Tonight I can take it all the way
Because tonight, I’m everything I wanted to be
I wanna live in a dream that is never ending, ooh
I wanna love all the wasted time I’m spending
Tonight I can take it all the way
I wanna live in a dream that is never ending
I wanna love all the wasted time I’m spending
Tonight I can take it all the way
I wanna live in a dream that is never ending
I wanna love all the wasted time I’m spending
I wanna live in a dream that is never ending
I wanna love all the wasted time I’m spending
I wanna live in a dream that is never ending
