With the marriage rate falling off the charts and the divorce rate going to the moon, is there really any good reason to get married? Spending enough money for a down payment on a home just for a weddings is one of the craziest things you can do. 90 percent of college women file for divorce.
it's definitely headed that way. the times of eternal long term relationships that our grandparents and maybe our parents had is dying out. the last marriage I remember that lasted for eternity was Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip.
other marriages that I thought would last a lifetime would end up in divorce, even perfect men like Tom Brady, Jason Momoa, Will Smith, Brad Pitt, the Rock etc have been through divorce (the average man stands even less chance)
sure we can point the finger at the man as usual but people are quite short sighted when it comes to understanding limitations and realistic expectations. and women be out here filing for divorce for some of the stupidest reasons, not only taking away the husband's resources and kids but stripping him of his pride, dignity and reputation.
people be out here be shaming Leonardo Di Caprio, but honestly, he's a smart cookie and knows how to protect himself regardless of whether you approve of his dating lifestyle or not.

Marriage will always exist because our Creator God Intelligently Designed us in a fashion where Purpose, Form, Function and Existence depend upon Marriage. Why do you think the attack upon Family and Marriage? Genesis 1 and Genesis 3 can lay out why the woman chases the man.
This is why Marriage will remain: And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth (Gen 1:28)."
Same-Sex engaging lacks Purpose, Form, and Function to meet that mandate. Be fruitful and multiply (Pop out the babies).
In the past? I have my wedding set up for March 20th. I'll still be a virgin on my wedding.
Meanwhile more people are fighting, more women are wasting their fertile years with prolonged cohabitation trial periods and less men are committing, I'm doing it the right way. If more of us went back to waiting till marriage, there would be no more ''We've been together for 8 years, why won't he propose'' stories. Since those girls are sacrificing their years for sex, it's time to make the man sacrifice sex for commitment. I ain't giving it away without commitment.
The funny thing is many men think it's too much to ask them to wait till marriage. Too much? What about the poor women waiting years and years for that proposal he'll never give her? So what's wrong with making him wait for that sex he won't get until after my wedding?
Marriage will always exist because decent people with values will always exist. When more people decide they are against marriage, it just makes it easier for people with values to weed out losers and find eachother.

Sadly yes. I'm not saying things Can't change. But most women today simply don't want to make that kind of a commitment anymore. And without women demanding that. Most men are not going to seek it. Most guys KNOW today that a majority of the women WILL sleep with him without any kind of commitment. And historically women have always kept guys honest by insisting they wait (typically for marriage). It FORCED the guy to get to know her. To understand what made her tick. And while it may have not been an intentional plan. This making him wait gave time for a bond to form between the two.
As I said this CAN change. But most women today simply don't want marriage anymore. Ask most and they'll tell you they want a guys commitment, a guys allegiance, but they want the option of opting out anytime they start to grow weary of it.
Marriage may become a thing again. But not till women actually want it.
Divorce rates (at least in US) is dropping unfortunately marriage rates are plummeting way faster. Men don’t want to provide and protect and women don’t want to be wives. It’s a giant mess if you’re under 30 yikes I’m not jealous at all
I don't think it's a thing of the past, at least for us. Women still want to get married. It's men who don't seem to want to marry anymore. You guys are the ones with the problem.
If people are happier without it, maybe that is a good thing.
It is until women change the "family" courts.
No there's still circumstances wgere it happens but by and large its done with
