I ask this because nowadays getting married is a big risk you take with your life more. People these days act more selfish. Also due to technology and social media. I mean people tend to stay friends with ex's be it boyfriend and girlfriend on Facebook. Would you like it if you spouse stAys in contact with an old flame on Facebook ? Or the ex might miss their old flame and keep emailing them? I mean is marriage worth it these days with that risk and selfishness? Also will your spouse be there for you if let's say you develop some really bad medical issue that you become disabled? I mean couples nowadys would take the easy way out and divorce. So how much does a couple really love their spouse?
I think marital problems are the same now as in the past.
We just are more likely to act on those problems (good bad or ugly). Divorce for example is more socially acceptable now than in the past.
Ok if divorce is more socially acceptable that means that couples don't truly at 100% love each other if they are going to keep that as an option while married.
OP-Do you propose an alternate arrangement that would work better?
Well don't get married if the couple is selfish to each other. Plus marriage is declining more and more now . Marriage will most likely become obsolete in the future with the way things are

Nah, there will always be people getting married. Whether it's for legal protections, economic reasons, emotional reasons, or myriad other things, it is an appealing thing for a lot of people.

It is an interesting idea that you propose, but I can't imagine marriage ever become obsolete. The deeply religious will always be marrying.
Without marriage, you do need to have some sort of relationship. Within the confines of a relationship, sex frequency will be higher than if you were just a singleton. More frequent sex is a good thing. For a man, sexual access is semi-predicated upon his relationship status. Without a primary relationship, for a guy to get an adequate quantity of sex, he must have a rotation of a few honeys in the stable to get it done. Also a lot of these FWB type relationships have a short shelf life, so he's always got to be hustlin' to replenish the flow. Better to keep one woman happy and having sex.
OP, have you ever actually been in a long-term loving committed relationship? If so, you would not be asking these silly questions.
