Why would they want to? Especially the men? There’s just no upside in this legal climate.
Well said. We celebrated our 59th anniversary last week. It has not always been a bed of roses, but we persevered, raised 4 kids (who are in intact marriages), and now have 12 grandchildren. We would not be able to enjoy these blessings had we given up with every little disappointment, or obstacle.
If they don’t they’ll be required to say “All-ah goes to the snackbar” three times a day, all those mentally challenged LGBTABCDwhatevers will see some interesting changes (from the top of buildings), and those #me too types will, well, just have to take what comes.
And they just might deserve it.
I always thought it odd, that while we had the ongoing efforts to legalize homosexual marriage, that marriage rates in general were in steep.decline.
We are told we must allow homosexual marriage but at the same time, fewer people want to get married at all.
“Millennials need to save marriage. Society depends on it”
So marriage is doomed, then.
Change custody and alimony laws and maybe men will want to get married.
It is difficult to preserve the institution of marraige when the divorce laws and feminist oriented courts are cruel to the young men and all men. When these same laws provide an incentive for the women - wives to divorce even with children so that they can explore. To see if they can do better than their boring old good provider husband. To see if the grass is greener on the other side. Or to be downright promiscuous and all funded via the ex-husband AKA dupe AKA sap. Of course the ex-wife keeps the house and the children while the ex lives in a grubby apartment because this is all he can afford after while paying child support and alimony.
This same lack of money makes him radioactive as far as finding a new wife or girlfriend.
Great, after 50 years of destroying the nuclear family, their roles in society, and marriage in general including the creation of a massive welfare state, so females no longer require a husband. ....
Now somebody wants to make marriage and children cool again, how cold and heartless. What’s next, we should start teaching the difference between right and wrong? where will this madness end.
Marriage can be very risky nowadays, especially for males. The liability factor is through the roof.
History is replete with societies that collapsed because they did not adopt the norms that stabilize them.
If American society has to go through this cataclysm, so be it. What will emerge afterwards will be a stable society conforming to the discovered norms of the millennia, or it will just cease to exist and become another lesson of history.
All we can do is warn them.
Odd, I am normally a nationalist protectionist America firster. But on this topic, i become a globalist! :)

Marriage needs to go away.
Not worth it for men.
Modern women, none of them pass biblical standards. Gossips, narcissists, contentious, angry, privileged but think they are victims, spenders, vain, think they can just ignore the vows and divorce over anything and leave with cash and prizes from the guy, has a string of guys already slept with - ie promiscuous, thinks all she has to bring to the table is herself, but has a laundry list of demands and criteria for the guy,...
Nope, in this climate the wise man heeds the bibles warnings about avoiding these types of women and remains single.
**Millennials need to save marriage. Society depends on it**
Amen!
No more divorces.
Read the book “Primal Loss” compiled by Leila Miller and written by the “NOW adult” children of divorce.
Every priest or minister needs to have a couple copies of this book to hand to couples who are considering a divorce.
The men in my son’s cohort, 21 to 30 want marriage and children. The young women, not interested. Crazy.
Much is made of the growth of the latino population in the US these days, especially among millennials.
Marriage rates plummeting in latin america. Much lower than in the US.
Yes guys, all civilization depends on you willingly submitting to your rightful status as Tax Cattle.
OTOH if it's majority Christians that reproduce among the new gens because the others are too selfish or incapable of relating to other humans, not such a bad thing.
I’m counting on the generations that follow to do the right thing. Millennials not so much.
When the wife and I pledged ourselves to each other, we meant it and it made us both stronger.
