Marriage is a useful, perhaps vital, institution if one is raising kids. It
might not be relevant in a society that no longer cares about raising kids.
Not having kids is trending these days. As a matter of fact, so is not being
able to have kids. It looks like nature is saying "screw it" to the human
race.

OTOH, my daughter's boyfriend recently did a most anachronistic thing: he
took her to a restaurant, got down on one knee, presented her with a ring,
and asked her to marry him. I thought that was a little nutty myself.

No, it wasn't a McDonald's.
