Society progresses whether some want it to or not. Next thing ya know, there will be a decline in christianity and more people who support regulated capitalism. I love progress.
Its very sad, because Shackin' Up isnt going to offer the commitment level and peace people are so desperately looking for. Plus, there will be so many more children born out of wedlock hoping 'Dad' sticks around to fulfill his obligations when the front door is already ajar for an easy exit . America has some difficult issues to face when it comes to many social things , but given the degree of narcissism and entitlement attitudes, it will forever be on a downward spiral.
About time. Marriage is nothing but a losing proposition for men.
LOL you guys are WRONG. *whips out Zena Warrior Princess shield and sword*
As a person going through a divorce, marriage property distribution generally only benefits the partner who has the fewest assets. I guess typically this is the woman, but it can easily be the man. I know a woman who had to pay her POS ex child support and alimony, and my "better half" LOL is currently attempting to abscond with my hard-earned stuff.
Studies (if they are to be believed) have shown that men are HAPPIER during marriage...and in my personal experience my husband benefited much more than I did financially, and emotionally from our marriage. Contrary to what I was led to believe by movies and romance novels, women end up taking care of the man and not the other way around...
Sure, back when women weren't considered "persons", men had it real good in marriages.
That's not what I meant...
I meant, that the recent prevalence of en masse divorce / divorce a la carte, is a very undesirable trait of modern life. When divorces occur, more often than not, it is the man / ex-husband who suffers the brunt of the financial consequences, not the ex-wife.
