[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think marriage as an institution is likely on the way out, and more something that will be a rarity in the future rather than the norm. So while I have noticed this as a trend, it worries me exactly zero. The idea that everyone is supposed to get married is pretty crazy, anyway [/quote]

I feel that marriage brings prosperity and security because you are pooling both your resources and your network.  I think the very poor and the very rich lives won't change, but for the middle class having a strong functional  marriage is a way to have a more secure future and create a family support system.

Ideally that would be the way it works.

But there are far too many cases of men who grow tired of their wives after decades of marriage and her having given him beautiful children and raised them well, then suddenly he's looking for a younger version and doesn't want to share those assets they built together, that pension from the job he worked while she abbreviated her career potential to take the primary role in caregiving to their children - then she ends up 'suicided' or 'accidented' away and while in some cases that make it to Dateline et al. the vile husband gets caught and prosecuted, we all know that they are plenty more where there is never any justice for the wife who was thrown out like trash.[/quote]
