I'm so tired of people trying to claim the marriage and birth rate decline is due to le economy le house prices money this money that etc, its so reddit; your grandma had 8 kids in a one room cabin and barely complained about it.
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree in incelland here but modern people are just decadent and spoiled, kids require self sacrifice and responsibility and few people truly want to do that, and marriage is taken so seriously (as it should be) no one with two brain cells wants to risk divorce, but they also want the best they can possibly get with their one shot at marriage, so people keep holding out and holding out for some "perfect" person to come around who will never fight with them and drain their balls and be a perfect parent etc etc
The only thing that used to hold this back was the societal shame around premarital sex which caused people to lock into marriage young so they could finally have sex, I think this is good BUT I wish for another alternative: just bring back polygamy. Let men believe that their girl chasing days aren't over with marriage and i think they'd be way more likely to settle down sooner. I still think premarital sex should be punished outside of marriage, but if a man wants to wife up another girl, so be it. Divorce would still be illegal ofc. This is how the og mormons did it and their birth rate was nuts and they built a really good city and state.
inb4 trad stuff about lust bad blahblah
Come off it, sexual desire is good to produce kids, and polygamy is the best, natural way of making everyone happy
