(CNSNews.com) – Seventy percent of American males between the ages of 20 and 34 are not married, and many live in a state of “perpetual adolescence” with ominous consequences for the nation’s future, says Janice Shaw Crouse, author of “Marriage Matters.”

“Far too many young men have failed to make a normal progression into adult roles of responsibility and self-sufficiency, roles generally associated with marriage and fatherhood,” Crouse, the former executive director of the Beverly LaHaye Institute, wrote in a recent Washington Times oped.

The high percentage of bachelors means bleak prospects for millions of young women who dream about a wedding day that may never come. “It’s very, very depressing,” Crouse told CNSNews.com. “They’re not understanding how important it is for the culture, for society, for the strength of the nation to have strong families.”

I believe it, it’s up there, I don’t know about 70% but it’s a relatively high number. We need to get our act together.

That’s what happens when boys are raised by Feminazis and not men. Baby men staying babies and women deciding to raise dogs instead of children. Isn’t the Leftist way grand?

Well, that was quick... in a matter of 20 years of feminist courts always siding with women on domestic disputes, “rapes on campus” and divorce...

NOW wanted to smash the patriarchy, smash monogamy, and smash the family.

The seeds of our nation’s destruction were planted by Marxist revolutionaries 45 years ago.

They are coming to full bloom now.

It’s true that marriage is sometimes work, not always easy, but definitely very very very rewarding. ——37 year veteran of marriage.

There is a huge and healthy Marriage Dissolution Industry:

The courts hate men, and men have taken note.

Maybe this will make it easier for us older guys in their 40’s to find a mate. B-) B-P ?????? I know some of my ancestors did marry and started their families in their 40’s and 50’s.
