The institution of marriage is dead.
Shifts in socioeconomics and culture in modernized countries have destroyed it.
Why do people cling to such broken idea?

The institution, yes. The idea? No.
Segregation of church and state.

I'm not sure what you are asking. Why do people cling to most things?
What do you propose as the alternative?

I wouldn't say it's dead. A lot of people still want to have a monogamous long-term relationship.

Only for your utterly fucked generation. We went through something like this in the Sixties. They experimented with free love and polygamy and group marriages and all they produced was a bunch of lonely unhappy cripples. We rediscovered the value of the nuclear family the hard way. So will you, in another decade or so. Hopefully.
We really do need to stop incentivizing divorce, though. Those old laws designed to protect women from predatory men are still in place, which is why they get everything by default, which is why 80%+ of divorces are initiated by women. That plus no-fault has demonstrably been an utter disaster.

What are you guys talking about. Everyone under 50 get divorced nowadays. People are not willing to put in the hard work marriage requires; marriage is nothing more than a joke to people now.

Mostly old people who can't comprehend life without it, religious people who think a wizard will send them to a demonic plane if they don't, betas who do what mommy & daddy said like a good goy, and sluts who can't attract alphas anymore needing a butler/ATM
Don't get me wrong, I think marriage is a good idea but in practice it falls apart when betas (as their nature demands) submit to their wives and begin the cycle of social chaos anew
I know I'll be called an edgelord but sluts need to be sterilized along with other degenerates
If we select for pairbonding instincts we'll have a more stable society

Nah
Black marriages have plummeted like 78% since the Civil Rights movement
Spics aren't far behind
Asians stop marrying the longer their generation has been in the west
When birth control pills, government aid, and a culture that holds nothing sacred combine you get the filth we live in now

Love shouldn't be work user. A family might, and i do think that a dedication maybe even an obligation should required to have a family, but not just to choose a life partner.
