nah, why would marriage be in danger? Yes, more people are choosing not to get married currently, but even out of those in the polls, some are going to change their mind. Many of those who are not choosing "marriage" are choosing a single partner to spend their life with, and have a family with (This, actually, is the prototypical definition of marriage).

Our views of marriage, and of childbirth have been radically altered over the years, with both being given a truly horrible rap, so it really isn't a wonder that people are having to learn what marriage is really all about.

those who choose not to marry should fight, sue - do what it takes for equal rights.

good, marriage is a trap for most people. they get married too early. i would support a law that made it illegal to marry before the age of 25. i think we'd have a lot less divorce.

Do you have actual data that supports your view that whose who marry under 25 have a higher rate of divorce?

marrying young has nothing to do with the divorce rate.

The problem is people who jump into marriage with the attitude of "I'll just leave if things get difficult" instead of "till death do us part".

i think that attitude comes from not being mature enough or having worldly insights
