[Albion Wilde]

And the real reason men today don't want to bother with courtship: Why buy a cow when so many other cows are giving away the milk for free? Am I wrong here? Or, isn't that just the reality of it all?

The problem is that neither most males nor most females are making a commitment to a JudeoChristian marriage. It's all about the material world and the meat market; what am "I" going to "get" out of marriage? Neither is thinking "how can I be the best mate and future parent, and what do I bring to a marriage, including discernment of good values in the other future parent of my children?

The latter kind of thinking was more commonplace in America before the 60s. Marriage was supposed to be forever; being a parent was an unavoidable consequence of having sex, and having a family and making sacrifices ot care for each other was the point of marriage.

Today, both men and women are looking for fun, material status and psychological therapy from their partners.

Indeed. I couldn’t agree more with that post.
