Yep, between the family courts being a tool of the feminist agenda instead of seekers after the welfare of the family, between the ease of no-fault divorce allowing any one partner to dissolve the marriage, no matter what the other feels, or the children need, and a culture that glorifies romantic notions far above committment, the 20th century Western approach has pretty much created a population crash especially among the educated and able.
Those who heed the siren call of self over family will probably see their bloodlines die out, while those who know that family is the bedrock are having multiple chidren (five and six are not uncommon among the serious young adults at my church.
I know whose bloodlines are not going to inherit the earth...
Having been married and divorced in my 20s and now happily married to to someone who had never been married before, I can look at these issues from various sides.
There is no cookie cutter solution to the problem, because every one is different.
My ex had 3 children from a previous marriage - when that ex sought an increase in child support for the youngest, my income was included in the calculation for the increase.......he attempted to not only get me to pay him spousal support, but to keep up the child support payments for a teenager who was not my child. Had I not has an on-the-ball attorney, both would have been granted to him.
My ex-husband passed away this spring - all alone because not even his sons, all grown men, wanted anything to do with him. He wasn't a boomer, or a gen Xer - he was born in 1939....and was divorced from the mother of his children long before no-fault divorce and the "feminist agenda"
