look at the divorce rate. its very high. many more people choose to be single or just not get married.

Your question REALLY amuses me. (:
but anyhow, my grandparents haven't told me any wacko stories..... but they do comment on my "slutty" clothing.
"oh my heavens, what are you wearing? I would be in soo much trouble when i was a kid if.. blah blah blah"
I'm like "OHKAY GRANDMA!"
Actually, my clothes are almost the least slutty out of the majority of snots in my grade.

For most people it is easier. Some elderly people still remember using horses as transportation- imagine how cold that was on early mornings. Most children did walk to school all year round and in the rain too. Clothes washers required you to put the clothes into different sinks to rinse and wash. everything had to be ironed. Some people still had wood burning stoves even when I was young. We had neighbors with a outhouse until I was at least 8 years old. So yes it is easier and more comfortable now.
