Besides the actual discussion of marry or not, and women difficulties to find a decent husband (or at least a man willing to share life).
I would like to share with you that I agree we are creating in western a sick society.
What I can see from my friends in my homecountry (married) is that prices are so high and salaries so low that both have to work. Meaning that man and woman have to work in order to get enough money home for mortgage, kids, college...
Society has arrived to a so sick situation that both man and woman have to work in order to be able to pay for a girl to babysit the kids while woman is working making worthless to raise a family as you cannot enjoy that (you go out to work while children are still sleeping and you go back home when children are at bed).
I found that some of my friends think about the issue of kids in economic terms. It is too expensive to have children, or they think they cannot afford...
This makes me think that maybe the problem, or the fact is that we are living in a too consumist society meaning that all around us is making us greedy, selfish, lazy and only looking for our own benefit.
My mother grew up in postwar years and she had to share dresses and shoes with sisters (from older to younger). They were a lot of brothers and sisters and they were not poor for those years but for sure they had very few luxuries.
And we dont want to have children 'cause if we have we will not be able to afford the 40'' flat TV screen or we dont have enough money to buy a new car each 5 years?
We are losing the priorities in life...
War looking for peace,
is like fornication looking for virginity.
