I think a big part of it is that the culture mocks that sort of thing now. Remember, we are supposed to be all about sexual freedom and pleasure, and the girls get that from a young age. <br /><br />I never say that it was true "in all cases". I know chaste single men. They are definitely not the norm in this pornified, hook-up culture, would you agree? The chaste men I know are usually devoutly religious. But I don't think most of the men in this country who are delaying or foregoing marriage are doing so for reasons of consecrated celibacy, priesthood, or still waiting for their spouse, do you? <br /><br />It's not that I have a low opinion of non-married people, it's that I have a low opinion of the culture and the messages the culture sends to unmarried (and married) people. Am I so far off base?Leila@LittleCatholicBubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357573787143230160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-84371459875002794632015-10-04T10:09:02.217-07:002015-10-04T10:09:02.217-07:00"You and I both know that these perpetual bac..."You and I both know that these perpetual bachelors are not chaste".

They are having sex throughout their lives, and they are producing babies (because that what sex does, biologically), babies that are either being aborted, or growing up without their fathers in the home or at all.

These men and women are making these vows of "till death do us part" but down the road there are so many divorces. Over 70% of these divorces are initiated by the woman. You would think the top reason for these divorces would be abuse or infidelity but it isn't. It is "dissatisfaction" with the marriage on the part of the woman. Now the husband is kicked out of his home and loses half his income and possessions. He also only sees his kids on the weekend. The woman doesn't lose nearly as much. A lot of guys see this happening out there and are wisely not taking the risk for little reward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-55853200102026234242015-10-01T12:16:09.908-07:002015-10-01T12:16:09.908-07:00I echo JoAnna's question.

I just wanted to say that I was beyond amazed by the entire experience in Philadelphia. I am lucky to live here and just had to take the trolley and public transit down. It was beyond moving to be surrounded by so many people who support the family and the church. Top moments for me -- hearing Scott Hahn, the Popcaks, Simcha Fisher, and getting to MEET St. Gianna's daughter! The gorgeous Our Lady Undoer of Knots installation next to the Basilica ... also, of course, getting to be 25 feet away from Pope Francis! Meeting so many different people from around the world and feeling completely rejuvenated and uplifted by the entire experience. It blew me away!quadmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254199098599230245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-37859741092429064612015-09-29T22:22:39.800-07:002015-09-29T22:22:39.800-07:00Tracy, that is awesome!
