Is the environment of society friendly or hostile towards marriage?

By marriage I mean biblical life commitment (till death do us part rather till something else comes along).

I voted friendly. I think society idolizes those that stay married. We see anniversary announcements in the paper...we make huge deals out of weddings in general...I think the consensus is still that "til death do us part" is the ideal.

Where's the hostility?

Environment of society is a rather nebulous term, but quite fitting nonetheless. I voted hostile, because if you take society as an organism, like bacteria, then it really does nothing to foster "til death", but instead contributes filth and depravation to the mind, like an onslaught of debauchery nearly everywhere you turn. It's not enough that we must fight against our instincts to be bad(selfish), but society pretty much says it's all okay.

Depends on the "society" referenced. I'm sure you can find that it varies from town to town, city to city, state to state, country to country...

I voted hostile because if you're talking Scriptural marriage, lifetime marriage, even on here, a Christian forum, there's hostility.

Society loves a love story. In general, I think it is pretty neutral. Most people I know don't care and are uninterested in the particulars of others marriages.

Ok. I see genuine beliefs on both sides.

Shall we look at the statistics?

Does anybody have the updated divorce rates? The last time I looked (ten years ago) it was 51% unchurched, 52 % churched.

Going just by those out dated stats... what do YOU interpret from that?

Are people just selfish or their lust out of control?

Or is it increasingly difficult to stay in the "much admired" long term marriages because the environment is is hostile or pro-singles... ?

Your thoughts?
