Marriage needs to go away.

Not worth it for men.

Modern women, none of them pass biblical standards. Gossips, narcissists, contentious, angry, privileged but think they are victims, spenders, vain, think they can just ignore the vows and divorce over anything and leave with cash and prizes from the guy, has a string of guys already slept with - ie promiscuous, thinks all she has to bring to the table is herself, but has a laundry list of demands and criteria for the guy,...

Nope, in this climate the wise man heeds the bibles warnings about avoiding these types of women and remains single.

Premarital contracts are necessary to save the institution of marriage.

A globalist on this issue??

Saying that reminds me of a trend I’ve heard about. I’ve heard there is a small but growing number of American men, seeking women from other countries.

They have web sites for this activity.

The men are seeking females raised in different cultures, who don’t have the outlook of modern feminist types.

I’m sure Liberal women are outraged that a man would go around the world to find someone.

MGTOW denies that most men are meant to be fathers.

Difference is, you both had the mindset to persevere.

Most women today know divorce court is rigged for them, no negative consequences for them to dvorce. And since 70-80% of divorces are initiated by women they are the ones not persevering. These numbers only skyrocketed when no-fault divorce came about, so dot tell me they are because of domstic violence which women do plenty of.

And get rid of no fault divorce.

Really this will not help.

Mindset of women needs to change and that is not going to happen.

Fathers don’t want to be disenfranchised from parenthood by divorce.

Child support throws them out the window.

The intent of marriage law is to incentivize women to divorce and eviscerate fatherhood.

Men can only be replaced by money from the government when men have been reduced to being nothing more than a source of money in the first place.

Custody, of course, is critical.

**Millennials need to save marriage. Society depends on it**

Amen!

No more divorces.

Read the book “Primal Loss” compiled by Leila Miller and written by the “NOW adult” children of divorce.

Every priest or minister needs to have a couple copies of this book to hand to couples who are considering a divorce.

The men in my son’s cohort, 21 to 30 want marriage and children. The young women, not interested. Crazy.

9. Young men have seen their fathers, brothers and male friends get butt-raped in family court, forced to pay years of “maintenance” payments and child support to the ex-wives (no surprise the vast majority of divorces are initiated by women), even when the husbands wanted to stay married and were good dads, and ask themselves “who in their right mind would want to do that?”

Chris Rock’s new Netflix show (I’m paraphrasing): “Women and children are the only ones who are loved “unconditionally”. Men are only loved on the “condition” they pay up.”

Much is made of the growth of the latino population in the US these days, especially among millennials.

Marriage rates plummeting in latin america. Much lower than in the US.

So many things in society have changed that I question if marriage will ever be as prevalent as it once was. It kind of amazes me to see couples living together and buying houses, etc., and nobody bats an eye. Then there are the ever-present “baby mamas” and “baby daddies”. Women have more options than they used to have and are no longer financially dependent on a husband, and men no longer need to get married to have sex, and nobody seems to consider the children.

You won’t find that many women that want to get married young and stay home with a bunch of kids. It’s not an easy life and society looks down on women who stay at home and don’t pursue some career. It’s also very difficult to afford having a family on one income. It seems neither men nor woman want this life any more.

I read a story about how many young men now live with their divorced mothers and take care of things that a husband would take care of around the house like mowing the yard, and then go out to have young female companionship. It seems to make mom and the son happy, but it won’t do anything for society at large. It’s a strange new world we live in.
