Nevermind the fact that 95% of the rest of the world gets married like tradition.
It's not a western issue. The western issue is the fact that society has made hyper sexuality the norm. The western issue is where you have strippers and prostitutes actively thinking they are respectable enough to handle a marriage.
That's the problem. our society has broken the rules then wonder why traditions as old as conscious mankind are falling apart in the last 15 years.
At this rate, the institution of marriage will fall apart in 20 years.
