Marriage, like the Church as a Whole, is an instrument of Gods grace that perfects the flawed, a hospital for sinners as it where as opposed to country club for saints. It is a sacrament that over time and cooperation with it, takes the flawed and perfects it over time. As the sculptor takes a piece of stone and carves it into the creation of his minds eye, God uses the sacraments to make us as he ultimately sees us.

Stop being so cynical.

you call it cynical
i call it reality
and facingreality

Brother Bernard of the silver city, NM, monastery: "wouldn't it be great if every one went into religious vocations?"
Me: "but then there would be no more people."

Not necessarily. What prevents God from creating more humans* as He did Adam, out of the slime of the earth?
_{*(if He deems creating more humans necessary, which it seems it isn't, as the world is sufficiently populated, hence why polygamy is no longer legal in the New Law)}

hardly anyone should get married

That was what Jesus' disciples said when he explained to them about the disolubility of marriage.

God determines the % of people who should marry.
However, it's true that marriage is not "expedient" (συμφέρει) (Mt. 19:10).
(cf. 1Cor 6:12: "All things are lawful to me: but all things are not expedient.")

Perhaps it's best that you not marry because you would be a poor spouse. Don't project that on to the rest of the world.

Graceseeker you sound like you are on the verge of losing your Faith!

You have to put more trust in God and His Holy Mother!

God sends His grace to both the good and the bad, to all of these corrupt people!

All this sin need never affect you if you keep seeking Grace.
