Dr. William L. Pierce - Why Do Marriages Fail Today?

Dr. William Luther Pierce extrapolates the various reasons as to why marriages are failing in the current day and age. He pin points three root causes towards the decline of modern marriages - economic, psychological, and social. Historically, marriage was based on the economic fact that a well-defined division of labour increased the chances of survivability. If a man and/or woman complemented with each other, they and their offspring were likely to survive and prosper. However, causal factors like two economic developments between the early 20th and 21st centuries had undermined the development of the human species in regards to marriage and family bonds. The first was the large-scale recruitment of married women into the domestic workforce during the last century whilst the latter was the development of the welfare state. This increased the labour pool and decreased the wages while the rise of the service economy decreased the percentage of jobs that required a man's strength. Technology was reducing the burden of maintaining a home. Women were no longer economically dependent on their husbands as in the past. Women could find employment if they left their husbands. Women's roles and responsibilities had diminished and the modern welfare state enabled that as well. Social changes also worked towards the detriment of marriage. The rise of feminism and women's liberation damaged marriage. Feminism reduced the complementary relationship between men and women. Equality between men and women was promoted thereby creating a gender dystopia thereby wrecking marriage. The only way to save marriage would be to eradicate propaganda encouraging women to go out and work or even provide them with affirmative action thereby snatching jobs away from men. The institution of marriage can only be saved if children are being produced and raised otherwise the trajectory for the future means the destruction of the family unit.
