Look at the greatest generation and the divorce rate even through the great depression/families stood together and as a result raise young men who stood in line to go to war long before it was mandated simply because it was the right thing to do to keep and protect the us general population from having fighting happen on the us main land.
Now contrast a family from the 20s to today's "free sex" this is the antisiss of family. whether that is hetero or homo, sex it is not devotion to the idea of the family or to rearing of children in the way we where designed by God to create a successful generation. Free sex/sex outside the confines of a sanctified marriage allows for the immediate gratification of sex but does not mandate the work it takes to have and maintain a long term healthy relationship.
Why would a man or a woman stay in a family situation when all they want is sex and sex is just a tinder or a grinder app away? Despite what we have been told since the 60s one parent can not do a good job on their own raising a child. even if the other parent is there but has all but checked out due to a porn addiction or a romance at the office or general disinterest and hate for the family.
Free non life time committal sex allows people to break the tie that binds families together. kids who grow up in broken homes turn out to be broken adults... Broken atults form broken communities and broken communities turn in to broken cities like detroit Chicago and san francisco. I dare you to tell me that the people from those cities have more intact families than broken homes.
Yadda Yadda Yadda......
A sky wizard magically made it so.
Um no, sorry. "Family" exists because humans have sex. Other species group too. There is no magic to life.
Marriage in all of antiquity worldwide was a way bond different families together as more like a bartering process. Females in antiquity were seen more as property to bargain with.
Marriage isn't a patent owned by one religion, nor is a religion required to be married or get a divorce. If anything that old mythology teaches kids to think with their emotions like marriage is a Disney movie, and marriage in reality isn't all peaches and cream, and some people should not stay married for that matter. Religion has no magic powers to keep people together. Relationships that last are about communication skills and problem solving skills. And healthy relationships are also about knowing when something is not working.
Religion is nothing but a superstition, it distorts human behaviors and gives humanity an unrealistic view of life.
