who knows?

to reply to the second of the questions posed. it is my belief that a large majority of people getting married are jumping the gun and if for no other reason people are living longer. so why hurry into marriage. im certainly not the same person i was four years ago. how do you account for that when you're getting married when you're still a kid yourself. i know this is unrealistic but maybe some sort legal age to be married, like 30, say you decide at 24 to get married. if that relationship last six more years, absolutely get married.  as far as the type of society this would represent to me is a realistic one and a smart one. young people should be more concerned about bettering themselves gaining knowledge, skills, even hobbies. In a society without marriage i believe the society has a better chance of furthering itself. although to play devils advocate a person could just spent that time wasting money and drinking.
