Treating marriage as just another contract that you can dip out of as opposed to a sacred covenant is the problem. If you don't have real roots, a sense of the sacred, and meaningful family and community, where everyone is just an atomized consoomer, then you have nothing, you have no ground for building real relationships or a real family, and thus no foundation for building a future. Such a society is doomed to wither and die.
