Why is marriage and family frowned upon in "civilized societies" today?

Question

I live in Europe (Germany) and it is totally acceptable for "boyfriends" and "girlfriends" to live together here. Almost no one is having babies..... and when a girl gets pregnant here, she is often angry that it happened: So, either an abortion takes place or a sorrowful wedding. What has happened to "civilized societies" where marriage seems to be considered a cursed thing.

Answer 1

It a total, complete corruption of the human race, thanks to the 21st Century World Plague of Liberalism.

This shows the extreme selfish nature of those who believe in abortion and there's a need for laws to exist against it worldwide. The young, clueless people can't be allowed to get their way like spoiled brats and not have any consequences.

Answer 2

Marriage at one time was often arranged.Then it became a simple matter of property and heirs.Marriage eventually evolved into a more choice based union but still was often a hardship.But people stayed together no matter how abusive or unhappy their marriages were.Today, marriage is more about happiness and less about the historic factors.While I think that marriage and family is a very noble thing for people to want and have, I also am glad that marriage is no longer a forced union of consequence.

Answer 3

People are more self centered than ever in today's society. It makes me angry when people use abortion as a form of birth control...they should consider the consequences before they sleep with someone. Living together is accepted in the USA too but weddings are still going strong, also. I think people are also afraid of marriage because of the high divorce rate.

stable night J :) 'in no way Met a dogs' ~ Vinegar Joe written by Robert Palmer in 1972, consists of the lyric "... practice wog canines a lesson..." i recognize it became into 'of the time', and that i admire Robert, yet i think of that became right into a be conscious too a approaches. Even taking part in the music right here at living house on my own, I recoil at that line... 'One in a million' ~ weapons N' Roses even nonetheless, Axl apologised on the album, and it became into aimed in the direction of particular human beings he had encountered... * * * * * * * * * Firesign : relies upon the place you're. right here in Britain, on maximum radio stations {exceedingly the BBC stations}, if 'money for no longer something' is performed till now 9pm-10pm then they use the censored version. Beatle : Oh confident! exceedingly the BBC ~ shouldn't morally corrupt the toddlers!

Answer 5

It's not "liberalism", it's the loss of the concept of "shame."
It's just that bastardy is no longer cause for shame. Look at all the cultural icons -- movie stars, social leaders, athletes -- who are having offspring out of wedlock. Does anyone say, "Hey, Jennifer, get married BEFORE you start churning out puds"?
Answer: "No."
So long as the "ideal" individuals treat reproduction as as common a bodily function as crapping, and treat marriage as no more binding than a luncheon appointment, and treat personal "happiness" as the ultimate goal of existence, then you are going to see a deterioration of the family unit, and a degradation of marriage as an institution.

Answer 6

I am not so sure it is frowned upon but not as encouraged as it used to be- Because of the divorce rate its 50% now that get divorced! So be sure if you take the step.

My son got married this summer and he already wants an anullment! I am a bit touchy on the subject....

Answer 7

There's more opportunity for people to do things with their lives now - people want it all. Hence they dont wanna feel 'tied-down' to one place/person.

Also, i think just as many young women were p*ssed off when they got pregnant back in the day, but that it was just accepted more as a fact of life which couldnt be helped.

Answer 8

it is true that Germany is outstanding in the low number of births, it seems that the Germans are looking for the good life without obligations, and prefer young Germans to be born to Muslim families.
