This has kinda been on my mind lately. Perhaps the reason 50% of marriages fail (Christian or not) is because there are twice as many people getting married as should get married. All the effort and energy addressed to this problem seems to be aimed at fixing troubled marriages, preventing the problems in marriage, guilting people into staying married, etc. Perhaps there should be a movement afoot to simply convince people that getting married is not a great idea (I think Jim said something to this effect a little while ago). Don’t read too much into this. I’m not talking about my own marriage.

There is a real stigma attached to unmarried people. We need to fix that. At the risk of stereotyping, married women are particularly guilty of this. See unattached male, start looking for mate for unattached male. Talk about how he “needs to find someone”, etc.

Any thoughts?
