Maybe a variation of arranged marriages would be the way to go - a prospective partner must be approved by both the person being married and their parents - and there must a minimum amount of time spent together so they know each other.

a sexual revolution and do away with arranged marriages would probably destroy culture and replace with consumerism - everyone focusing on being attractive, rather than being virtuous.



Or, as my dad always advised, "Son---if you decide to get married. Made sure to have separate residences to retreat to."

As a kid, I knew what he was getting at, but even then, I knew I would never have those funds.

(My parents fights were legendary. My mom was at fault early on. later it was my father's fault? It was a verbal battle, the minute he walked into the door.)
