The possibility that where man marries woman there will be children, has a major thing to do with that.

The institution of this classical family concept, has already been heavily damaged in the West, due to moder job world and its demands, politicians trying ideologic games, and a general decline of customs, values, and edcuated culture.

Seeing how egoist adults have turned, how easily couples break apart, how easily two people marry today and divorce again just short time later after the first challenge or first problem of their "love affair", and how few babies get born although one would arue that a rich society should have more material resaources to supply the raising and education of children than a poor society, tells something about the deformations in our Western culture.

Something swings back against us there.

Well said.
