I'll probably get downvoted but my opinion is that marriage has gone to sh1t because is because society has gone to sh1t.

The divorce rate is a secondary phenomenon to the actual problem which is American culture has done everything it can to remove God from our lives.

From where I am sitting, The greatest help to marriage would be the disassociation from government licensing and a return to private contract. The way, EVERY marriage would be considered what it is initially, a nuptial covenant which would then be clarified by the couple, rather than clarified by lawyers and politicians, in legal contract. It would return marriage to a covenant, rather than some license that allows one of the parties to take the brunt of the punishment when someone decides to dip out. Then, legal action would only take place when the private, covenant contract was breached. This would mean no more "Family court" for divorce. This would mean no more misunderstood expectations or "siding" with one party by a judge. If it's not in the nuptial covenant, then it isn't a breach. Then, Christians just have to make sure the contract aligns with the word of God. It would also destroy no fault divorce, because the contract would outline exactly what is and who is at fault. Christians could even put reconciliations in such a contract to allow for a couple to work things out. Also, if the two can't come to an agreement about what the nuptial contract should say, it's clear they shouldn't be married in the first place.

De-regulate: No government in Marriage beyond enforcing the private contract you agreed to when you got married.

What do you think?

Teach people how to pool their potential partners intelligently.

Allow unmarried women to face the consequences of singleness as a warning to the younger generation.

Call out men who are failing to lead out of ego - label them as an unsuitable mate until they significantly change.

Call out women who are failing to submit out of ego - label them as an unsuitable mate until they significantly change.

Blame fathers for not interjecting when their daughters choose partners poorly.

Advocate for prenuptials.

Criticize Churches when their singles ministry has an imbalance of men or women - especially if the people in the ministry are awkward.

I have known many couples living in sin and the only reason they don't get married is because they would lose government benefits. Our governments discourage marriage.

Start excommunicating members for it would be a good place to start. Too many churches don’t even know what that is anymore.

First off more Christians need to teach what the Bible actually says about marriage and stop twisting what the Bible says to suit our own selfish desires.

Simply put a Biblical marriage should look something like this.

A woman should submit to her husband and allow him to be the leader.

How should a husband lead? He should look at Jesus for the model of a leader. How did Jesus lead? 1.By putting God first 2. By Serving. He was a Servant Leader.

So a Husband should show his wife how to be. He does this by putting God first in life loving her the way Christ loved the church. By serving and loving and cherishing her.

As a result you have two partners who put their spouses wants and needs before their own and are happy to do so. This is what God intended. It is a perfect, selfless plan.

What we need to do is what we've always needed to do. Look to the Word for the answer and spend enough time doing it, that we have a clear picture of what it means.
