Our decline in morality is often cited as the
cause for the decline in marriages in the US, but our moral decline has been
going on for centuries. There are times like the Victorian era and the 1950s
when our immorality was hidden, but there is too much evidence in history to
assume that our immorality is something new. There is ample evidence that our
current government policies have led to a low point in our moral barometer.
There are financial reasons for our marriage
decline. Young couples in lust have never been good at saving sex for marriage.
They don’t think about the consequences of having children. Many couples want
to avoid legal expenses. They don’t know if their relationship will last.
Abortion has been a flawed fix, because it has its own consequences. Raising
kids as a single mom has its advantages over killing your baby.
There are young people who do understand that
early sexual activities are loaded with consequences and they do refrain from
this. We gave Engaged Encounter Weekends for decades and met thousands of
couple who were doing this.
I expect marriage rates to recover as the economy
recovers.
