Where did marriage go?

[anynameyouwish]

right

we will FORCE people to stay together!

moron

How about something far too intelligent or civilized for someone as low down the evolutionary scale as you...

like; encourage safe sex, don't vilify people for getting divorced, make it easier for divorced families to have a decent life with affordable education and healthcare, encourage younger people to wait longer before marrying, stop encouraging children to get married by the time they are 20, stop saying "better hurry, girl, before all the good ones are taken"....

stop encouraging children to get married by the time they are 20, stop saying "better hurry, girl, before all the good ones are taken"..
I'm pretty sure that went out in the 50's. I agree things like educating young people on safe sex and trying to ease families through divorce situations are good ideas, no matter what. And I have never heard anyone "vilifying" someone who is divorced. If you think I am, you're wrong.

It is my opinion that ending divorce and encouraging young marriages is part of the conservative agenda.

I had not heard that, but I do not know a lot of fundamentalist Christians.

We usually come out during the weekend and hang around a street corner from 6P to 9P.

Is that when you hand out brochures shunning divorcees and pushing 18 year olds to get married?

Rather sorry to see you mocking me on this issue.

I contend that many evangelicals are pushing an agenda of MARRY YOUNG, HAVE KIDS and DON"T DIVORCE

Could we get back to the question of this thread: How do we ensure kids a decent childhood in this brave new world?

The traditional way that the left has been so busy undermining over the past 50 years.

And instead encourage girls to ride the cock carousel, and rack up a good body count before settling down. Settling down after they've completely destroyed their ability to pair bond? That's half the reason marriages fail nowadays. Look at who files %70-%80 of the divorces. Not to mention the nosedive a womans fertility begins at age 30. So what a man is left with to choose from given your proposal is some worn out road whore, whose most fertile days are far behind her. No man of success, with designs on a family is gonna write a check against such damaged goods. At least not if he has half a brain.

This isn't a porn site

Why is government even in the marriage business?...?

The government guarantees and oversees the legality of contracts.

A sexual contract?

WTH? Why is that the governments business?

A binding legal contract like any other. Without legal enforcement of said contract, women and children abandoned by a husband who might happen to be the sole breadwinner in the family would have no recourse and would be up the creek.

Men are free to leave a relationship any time they want, and no, the legal contract does not stop this.

And if they have children together, the woman has legal recourse against him even though they are not married.

In other words, you want to undermine (and ridicule) family and tradition just exactly like Karl told you to.

That works out so well...

Don't be upset. You have your own experiences that lead to that contention. My experiences have been different. I just thought the hanging around the street corner (preferably under a street lamp) was a funny image. They can't cat call, so what can they do?

You probably don’t understand what you just revealed about yourself.

It holds him (or her) responsible for obligations undertaken upon the establishment of the contract.
