I continue t see the subject brought up again and again and thus it seems that marriage is one of the great social hurdles of this generation.

I can not help but think that people are the ones ill-equipped to socialize and and find a mate. Marriage and courtship remains the same (different flavors) but it is still a basic pillar of society; "boy meets, likes, dates, marriages girl." The same holds true in every country in recorded history. But here in the US more and more people seem unable to accomplish that task and facet of life.

Regardless, it seems that the problem lays with "people" and not the ritual. I wish I could be of more help.

Haha at leas you meet people. Women run from me, unless they need a shoulder to cry on or someone to vent to... as soon as that's done I'm back to being invisible, ha!

Limiting your field of view reduces your potential marriage partners.
I was in a member + non-member marriage and as far as faiths were concerned there was absolutely no problems to be had.

Everyone should work on finding someone they trust and love first; everything else has a way of working itself out.
