Marriage has become a minefield. Hell, people are opting out of marriage and staying single for every reason under the sun.
There are numerous reasons why marriage has fallen. Some of it is caused by third wave feminism and the constant demonization of men (i.e. Toxic masculinity).
Another reason is the fact that marriage lost all use in this modern world.
Either way, the problems it is causing cannot be ignored.
There is still hope to save the foundation of marriage. However, one will need a major dose of pessimism to make it work.
The first place to start is what do I want out of life. Which starts with the individual.
From there, one must test the waters if the person is right. From dating to arrange marriage, only the couple can make this work. For it takes two to run a marriage.
But no matter what road couple may choose, pessimism works best in love. For being aware of the consequences will up the chances of a successful marriage.
