Yes being married to the wrong person would be a bad thing. We certainly have to be careful about who we marry and yes there is a risk in it. Is the alternative any better? There is risk in getting married but there is risk in being intimate with someone without a commitment too. Avoiding marriage doesn't protect you from risk. >> >> > Many people in this country have >> >> > tried the sex without marriage route and it generally works pretty >> >> well. >>I think they'd prefer to be born into a home with married parents.

I think you are correctly pointing out a risk inherent in marriage. You agree there is also risk & problems inherent in a society without marriage? If the risk with marriage is being "stuck", the opposite problem with no marriage is people leaving too quickly without really trying to work things out. As I said above, there is risk both ways.
