will slowly the institution of marriage become extinct?

Question

will slowly the institution of marriage become extinct?

Answer 1

If you consider all long-term monogamous relationships to be "marriage", then no, probably not. We are, for the most part, animals that desire monogamy and commitment, and so long as society does not drastically change, people will continue to pair off, whether we call it marriage or not.

Answer 2

There's no doubt that the institution of marriage is under attack. Even so, I don't think it will become extinct. People are rediscovering its value and working harder to keep marriages together. There is still general agreement on the evils of divorce. Moreover, many successful and happy marriages will produce children who will want successful and happy marriages for themselves.

Most of all, it's from God!

Answer 3

I think people are slowly starting to destroy the meaning of marriage. Only a few people respect the bond between married couples and they prefer just living together instead of getting married and putting the relationship a "name" and bearing the restriction that comes with the "name".
I know from the people around me, they are planning to get married just because of tradition or because of their parrents' approval of their relationship.
In my opinion,most of the couples will no longer respect marriage and slowly, the number of married couples will decrease, however, it cannot be completely extinct because there are still many people wanting to get married because of their beliefs, in life and love.

I also agree with mac 1 hull --very correct ! Thank you, Brother in Truth !

The largest world religions are all very pro normal family to procreate more beloved Children as sons of God for our Father. The selfish secular humanists, hedonists, atheists, etc. are not interested in raising as many Children, if at all. They are dying faster of drug overdoses, AIDS, more ever deadly STD's, suicide etc.

Only the Godly moral Humans will fast increase here -- all other life-styles are doomed. Count the cost of disobeying God !

By AD2030 or sooner, the whole world will be far more to the conservative, Pro-God and Pro-Life and Pro-Family. Wonderful !

Peace and progress,

Answer 5

No, Good always wins over evil. The institution of marriage will be held together by the faithful.

Answer 6

As more people overcome the fear of being alone, pair bonding for life will be less of a requirement.

If you examine when these social structures emerged, we existed in very tight social communities. Over time, we have become more individual and more able to tolerate and even accepting of being alone.

If you examine the difference between urban and suburban life, you can more clearly the trends in how populations are getting along.

Answer 7

No. As adultery and general infidelity wrecks marriages and destroys a life, then the folly of it all will cause a reconsideration of marriage under God which will cause the more responsible of society to take marriage seriously. There will be a celebration of marriage.

Answer 8

Yes because marriage requires a commitment that some people can't provide while just living together on a girfriend/boyfriend basis is so much more flexible and when they get bored of each other or fight, they just go back to their homes.

Answer 9

'Legal' marriage may become extinct, but people will always need someone else by their side. Because even if technologies deal with all technical problems, they can't be our psychologists. So 'factual' marriage will remain.

Answer 10

Well, if I had to risk so much when marrying, such as having to pay for spousal support if I make it better than him because I am more hardworking, then I would definetly not get married in the US. Changing the laws, maybe more people would be less deathly afraid of it.
