Let me just make something clear, for the record. I am not against marriage in principle. If we were still religious and it was a purely cultural function, it would be fine. It used to tie people together. But as it exists today it is a legal contract with the state, and it incentivizes women to divorce.

I am also not against family. Because I have one. It's a very necessary thing. But the laws in the west today, and the US especially, are such that it is a suicidally stupid thing to do.

I understand your position and agree that the risks are very real and the consequences extreme if one chooses poorly which a majority do.

I just disagree that the risks cannot be navigated if one is careful.

That said I married a highly educated Asian girl and we go to church together every week so I admit that my perspective may be a bit different then the average.
