It didn't because it's mostly true. Marriage isn't obsolete but it's getting there. Marriage rates have been declining since the 70s and people instead have started cohabiting.

Hah. Reading the posts on here, it seems that I was correct.

What are you talking about? It is!

Maybe new marriages? I have been married for over 30 years (second marriage for me), and find my wife interesting, very attractive, fun in bed and off bed, loving, always helpful and caring, a hard worker at whatever she does....

I could go on and on about her, for I love her dearly. And no, I can only feel the way I do about her because we are married.

Frankly I couldn't marry a women I couldn't love deeply for the rest of my life. physically and emotionally.

Even if I had a child, if I knew I couldn't live with her, I would pay child support and continue searching.
