Is Marriage Outdated or Do We Need to Get Back to the Basics ...

Based on what we hear and see in the media, you would think that marriage is obsolete! But we know differently! And we know that marriage is good for our children and our communities (better schools, less crime, and more home ownership?)

Last week during?#MarriageChat, our weekly Wednesday night twitter chat, we discussed the State of Marriage. ?It was very interesting to hear different perspectives on how people view marriage and what we need to do to improve marriage in our communities.

We asked very?poignant?questions such as is marriage outdated, what led us to the current state of marriage, and what can married folks do to change the perception of marriage.

Check out the answers we received by clicking each page below.

Then leave a comment telling us what you think current state of marriage is and how we can turn things around.
