There is a failure to recognize and react to the possibility of different outcomes of marriage. That's the point I'm trying to get across. If people don't have the fundamental elements to support a family then perhaps the common thing to do is to reassess their selves.
You misunderstand me, but that is my fault, I kind of had a feeling you would. I wasnt necissarily speaking to you, as I dont remember who had what opinion exactly. I am not trying to accuse anybody specifically of being bitter, or being negative towards the idea of marriage.

I agree with most of your sentiments, so Im pretty sure we see eye-to-eye on at least the majority of this topic if not others. I guess I was just throwing a couple pennies out there, and if it applied to somebody that read it, they could either take it for what its worth, or ignore it. The choice is in the air.

Wonderful eloquence, by the way. I always appreciate a well thought out and aptly worded argument.
