Marriage, as we know it is all but gone. And it’s our fault. People will still get “married,” of course. Couples will hold a ceremonies in front of friends and family pledging to build a life together. For a little while longer, at least.
Marriage has devolved into a mere cultural habit, effectively ceasing as a cultural institution. Regrettable, given my strong advocacy or Western Civilization.
Considering our recent social upheaval, the de-valuing of marriage was inevitable. No surprise, given the Church’s unconditional surrender to the State.
