      It is interesting if the divorce _rate_ , as in the percentage, goes down as well. But there are explanations for that too, like there’s much less people getting married, much less interest in marriage, and those that do get married, are more sure on their relationship, and more sure on marriage, and they are of the shrinking population that actually desire marriage in the first place

      The "expert" explained it at about the 8:00 mark and something I found to be true being nearly 40. I find that women are looking for perfection. Back in 1948, women didn't have that much choice since they are limited to their geographical area. So Bob down the street who has a job at the factory is a highly likely prospect for marriage. Whereas today, people can move around, women can have careers and no longer are they forced to stay at home taking care of the house. With that in mind, nearly every guy today has a job, can provide a home and be able to to get a car. So women have a lot of choices and can make a better choice outside of that by finding someone they like, they find good looking, and can hold a job, a house, and a car. I guess when you say it's a "buyer's market" the truth is it's a "woman's market" right now. Women are able to make choices in their partner and can easily say no to someone despite them having all the great qualities of a marriageable man.

    Children's needs are often unpredictable and inconvenient. The only fair distribution of parental responsibilities is for both to share the inconvenience and for both to have the same opportunity to develop their earning capacity. But then, neither would have a career.
    If either spouse can breakdown the marriage on no grounds at all, against the wishes of the other spouse, without being required to compensate him/her or suffer a penalty, then marriage does not exist. Weddings are no more than parties and marriage certificates aren't worth the paper that they are printed on.

Mind you I lose my house and she keeps it with the kids and I have nothing, the law has put me in a spot and then goes to judge me for being in a bad spot even though the law put me there.

    The major difference between 1948 and now is that people back then only lived nearby. You marry Bob down the street and hope he can hold his job at the factory and be able to pay the mortgage. Whereas today people are spread out all over. So I think women, especially, are finding they have a lot more choices. Sure they could marry that guy who has a job, a house and a car, but reality is she could also marry the perfect man who is a good looking man who will also have a job, a house and a car. So the pressure of meeting someone who could provide expanded a lot more and people are waiting to meet someone perfect. The problem is perfection these days are a bit all over the place. For myself I find I have a job, I have a car, but I don't have the looks so I do not have high hopes of finding marriage at this point. I see others and they too have a job, a house, and a car and they look good so they are able to get someone before I would.

Then after some time the government got involved so people Begin marrying for economic reasons There were good tax cuts when you were married back then. But now you're getting married in the eyes of the government not god and economically marriage can now hurt you more than it can help you so there's just no reason for people to get married now.

It's a fools endeavor now. The women here mention all of the issues EXCEPT the ones that are important to men.

    We live in a different era. Feminism has empowered women. Most modern women don't have the same values as traditional women. Statistics show that over 70% of women file for divorce and it goes up to 90% if they are college educated. Since we live in a feminist society. The gynocentric court system favors women. In the bible it says that it's a sin to file for divorce if there wasn't infidelity and it's another sin to remarry. That tells me that women don't take wedding vows seriously. They need to restructure family law and make it fair for everyone. Not all but a lot of women don't think logically. They act on there emotions. Women want there freedom and independence. They don't want to be submissive like the Bible says. Women only want the benefits that come with marriage. They want a man that's going to provide them with a lifestyle they can't give themselves. Men are being alienated from seeing there kids and paying child support. Studies show that a child needs a mother to nurture them and a father to discipline them. That's part of the reason why you have dysfunctional people incarcerated in prison. Women don't love men for who they are. Women love men for what they can do for them.

    Marriage existed in all cultures because all cultures have had to deal with the same biological reality. Human children are dependent for a long time and raising them is a two person job. Men prefer to support their own children, not the offspring of other men.
    However, while it is clear who a child's mother is, because the baby comes out of her body, the identity of the father is unknown.
    Marriage is a contract between a man and a women in which the man undertakes to care for any children that the woman has, and to share his home and income with her for the rest of her life.
