Future of the Tradition of Marriage

I've been reading more and more about trends in both Europe and colleges in America where marriage is seen as a "life sentence".


Apparently more and more young people are "hooking up" with others to have sex for as long as its pleasurable.  Often meeting on Friday or Saturday night after drinks, getting together for the evening and living their independent lives for the rest of the week. No commitments.  Working and getting ahead is viewed more important than raising a family.


Statistics will prove this trend as true as 67% of babies are now born to single mothers. Divorce is over 50%.


This trend does lend itself to more equality than our grandmothers had. An even further gap between Sharia law and trends in the western world.  It does provide more sexual satisfaction for both men and women.


The Hollywood created concept of coupling and living happily ever after would be history? I wonder? Where do you see the concept of marriage heading in your country?
