Marriage is a great institution, and it behooves our society, and society in general, to promote it. Family law has really dealt a blow to the tradition in this country. Ideally, people should marry without any tangible fear of having their lives and bank accounts ruined by divorce for superficial reasons ("I'm not in love with you anymore" is a superficial reason for divorce, by the way), yet literally every person my age and younger has to weigh that possibility seriously, and it's why so many of us are choosing not to get married. It's a shame.

Marriage and the traditional nuclear family (although I am not suggesting it is right for every person) formed (past tense) the foundation of western civilization. It has been cast aside over the past 50 years - pretty much coinciding with my lifetime, to no good end.
The developing world has not stopped making children. The developed world has - to the point where those of European ancestry are reproducing at below the replacement rate. This dynamic will define change and conflict for another 75 years or so, until we reach a new equilibrium.

Yep. We are sacrificing our civilization at the altar of so-called free love.
Women wonder where all the good men have gone when men really just woke up one day and realized they don't have to be good to get what they want.
Meanwhile men wonder why women seem so fickle and untrustworthy now.
