hardly anyone should get married

We can see by the divorce rate how true that is

But then there are my experiences in life

I have not met anyone who was worthy.. plenty I THOUGHT were worthy... until I found out who the person really is (is not)...

so why all these marriages going on? I think people see unkosher things in the other just as I do.. but they marry anyway... NOT good.. (depending on how unkosher..)

With the paltry education and brainwashing given in public schools, community colleges, and universities, is it surprising that both men and women are ill-prepared for marriage?

With sɛҳuąƖ immorality being taught in English classes and in sex education, is it surprising that most youth by the time they reach the tender age of 18 are no longer virgins and are incapable of being faithful? Is it surprising that many English teachers, especially those from California and Florida, are using risqué romance or coming to age novels as texts, and by doing so are tempting and even seducing the young men and women in their classrooms? Yes, it is best that our ill-prepared narcissistic youth not marry and destroy more lives through abortion and unfaithfulness.

We need to pray for our youth, and if we are parents, we need to watch our children carefully and home school them so that they may be pure and chaste.

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."

Brother: "what a way to go!!"

I don't know where you were looking, but you were obviously looking in the wrong places. You need to look for your spouse at church, not at the bar.

I know, you probably don't go to bars. But still, looking at Barnes-and-Noble, the cafe, the park, or anywhere else "in the world" where the mix is 99.99% not Traditional Catholic is about the same as looking for a good Catholic spouse at a bar.

Worldly people find improvement in their selection by going to a bookstore or concert instead of a bar. Traditional Catholics do not. The woman will still be wearing pants, feminist to some degree, not raised Catholic (huge obstacle to overcome, even if she's of good will and wants to convert).

In the US its common for people (non-Catholics) to raise other people's kids (not condemning that per se). But the reasons for this is that people lay down with each other and start a family out of wedlock and then later don't like that person and trade them in for someone else and the cycle continues. Seems to be a trend among my generation here.

I never saw that once living abroad. Never knew someone raising someone else's kids (step-dads etc).

So maybe it's not that people shouldn't marry. It's definitely a cultural thing. My wife was a 35 y/o virgin living with her parents her whole life when we got married (that's how they do it in other countries). You'd be lucky (blessed) to find one (a non-Catholic again) at 18 of such disposition here in the U.S., from what I understand.
