What are some major ways in which marriage and the family is endangered?

Only one major item........is when a man and a woman take the oath of marriage. It's down hill from that moment....evidenced by Yahoo, section: marriage/divorce.What are some major ways in which marriage and the family is endangered?
Failure to replace archaic religions with modern education channels about the differences between the sexes and what it takes to be a good husband and wife. This has classically been Mom %26amp; Dad's job, but given the staggering failure rate today they are not up to the task.





Pretending that men and women are the same and everything should be fair. Men and women are different by 1/2 a chromosome (genetically I am more similar to a chimp than you!) and much of the difference is in our emotions, thus we are different in how experience life (e.g. happiness.) A primary purpose of marriage is to share that difference to make one-another whole.





Two working parents is an excellent example of a gross mistake. For some period of time both working is good/fine and everyone getting a self-supporting education is good.


But two careers means sacrificing motherhood.


I cannot fathom why any women would want to do that. It's not like most men have ';careers';. We have jobs to pay the bills not the other way around.


So maybe if she is brilliant and is a PhD. scientist doing ground-breaking work or a high-powered CEO maybe the career is worth it. maybe. But few people get those jobs, you are much more likely to end up essentially a clerk somewhere grinding away with your trained skill-set.


';Mechanical Engineering Manager'; is no where close to worth giving up motherhood for.





But, here's the kicker, since so many couples both work now the cost of life-commodities has sky-rocketed. If you have low income jobs, it basically takes two of them now just to survive.What are some major ways in which marriage and the family is endangered?
I am glad you asked this question. I am not sure if you have ever read the Bible but the stories God unfolds were laid out for people to model after. Take for instance, God created man then took a rib from man's side and made him a helper. Someone that he can depend on love, take care of and work hard for. Man + Woman = childrern. If you remove either and replace it with the same sex you will have confusion in your life. Children learn from examples and if they see a married couple in how they go about their lives, they will learn how to live a healthy life but the same sex doesn't reflect that, it's confusion and it causes one to questions that sometimes leads down a dark road. Besides how can you pro-create if you are the same sex? Men are made for women and vice vera.
Just look around this forum. Half the people are brainwashed into automatically answering ';divorce him';, ';dump her'; at the slightest provocation, whether it's someone not buying enough presents, going through a rough patch, catching bad habits, whatever. Hardly anyone offers constructive solutions to try to better the person and work through the problems. Isn't that the point of the trials and mistakes of marriage, to learn from them, help each other through them, and evolve? This is the most, selfish, pampered, gender-confused and just plain confused generation in history. Rampant porn, cheating, radical feminism and gender homogeneity, materialism and greed, ridiculing any sort of religion, church, or morality besides relativism and political correctness, they all contribute.





But the biggest problem is arrogance .. it's the brainwashing of an entire generation into thinking that life is about selfishly getting what you want, whenever you want, and at the slightest inconvenience, move on. God help us all.





EDIT: I agree with the two posters below me. This conspiracy and cultural shift to both parents working just to support the same standard of life we've always had (caused partly by radical feminism and partly by materialism) is a huge part of couples drifting apart. Most women aren't even that happy with their jobs, but mention something like this and their brainwashing kicks in and they think you're some kind of chauvinist that wants to enslave them. All it results in is two people wearing the pants in the house, neither having the time for each other or the kids, and neither fulfilling the other's needs.
Hi. I'm going to get SO bashed for this but...


Just my opinion, and this is only in SOME circumstances but I think the downfall of many marriages/families is the fact that both parents work full time jobs.


They work all day and have to come home to, cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands, practices (soccer, piano, baseball...). This leaves no time for each other. It seems (again, to me) life is all about running, and working to buy more and more stuff that we can't use or appreciate because we are working our butts off and and have no time to enjoy it.


Round and round.
