Modern marriage - a structure that is, on the one hand, in the process of formation; on the other, in the process of decay. We have entered a period of personal choice. Everyone is free to choose independently, not relying on public opinion, traditions, and often on the opinion of dad and mom. At the same time, you will have to bear the responsibility yourself. Responsibility for choosing a wife (husband), for the integrity of the family, for raising children. And the world of personal responsibility is a complex, frightening world, especially for those who do not have before their eyes an example of responsible behavior on the part of older generations.
