Decrement of Marriage

Marriage, which was once considered the root of society, is now losing its popularity; men postpone it due to the echoes of divorces and cheating scandals. Marriage was supposed to wipe all the flesh but is now considered a waste of money and time. It is an uprising question in psychology that our young men feel confident in strutting sins which old men feel secure in denouncing. Much of the customs are considered sacred by society but certain customs like monogamy and polygamy are now losing their inheritance. Let’s dive into the great transition that we are passing has caught and changed our morals.
Over the past few centuries, we have witnessed a decline in many customs and rituals; which were once sacred to death. But as the man developed he considered them obnoxious and unnecessary to waste time on and marriage is now becoming one of these. Industrial development has played a major role in the deferment of marriage. We were used to tribes, fields, and living together. As industries grew over time, distance grew between families. Fathers who once on farms taught their sons how to respect family, society, and customs, and earn a good living life had to go look for food and means of earning. Mothers who used to decorate houses and nourish their children also went to the world for jobs to make a living. It take both mother and father to make a home, but as soon as the money flow increased in the world, the family system was ripped apart piece by piece.
A factor of individualism is promoted through industrialization. As a boy or girls start to make their own living ironically think that they are better off alone or without someone’s support, which also leads to a decrease in case of marriages. The world provides them with bold money which can be used to buy monogamous, or polygamous sex, unhealthy pleasure, and promiscuity, soon considering these as a substitute for love. People with such a lifestyle contemplate it with a good and free life but with a feeling of loneliness. But in reality, the feeling of being alone with no place is scarier than the stress of being in a marriage and finding a solution. Many people don’t understand that.
Some audiences, the majority of people in their 20s in the modern era, spent too much time considering it. They see their friend who gets married as a waste of potential rather than the beginning of new opportunities. Leibnitz was one of the opinion that whether a man should marry or not; and our young men agree with it. They reflect for too long and become bachelors doing so. Pre-martial affairs, the adult industry, and prostitution are the results of such resolutions.
This decrement of marriage is somewhat related to atheism. When young men and women, bold with money, discovered that religion was denouncing their pleasures of promiscuity, they found a thousand reasons in science for denouncing religion. We turn against the reason if the reason is against us. Theologists of the past would consider it a sin to touch an unknown woman but today’s theologists would wonder if this is an opportunity from GOD? Our elders are not behind being wrong in this matter too. Fathers who are insecure about their son’s future and mothers who are jealous of their friend’s son pressure their son to marry which leads to the wrong choice in mating. This further leads to divorces.
The ‘causes’ assigned by the courts to divorces are guillotining the marriages; desertion, cruelty, cheating, intoxication, and whatnot, as if they were absent in the early ages. It is a fact that all of these factors and various others are now choking marriage to its far death. Religions that promote it are also being demoted by such agenda as I would call it
