Dating is the Beginning of Our Problems

Where we are as a people is fragmented because of our inability to date with any success. This may sound crazy but if you look at things the way I see them you will quickly understand my point. Dating and the act of repeated exposure to the opposite sex carry with it many functions, companionship, sex, entertainment, and tradition. All these motivations are important, but the ultimate goal is to get to know if this person is someone you would like to spend most of your spare time with. In other words if this person is someone you would call your man or your woman.
Becoming girlfriend and boyfriend is the natural prerequisite to marriage, which, in turn, leads to children and grandchildren, aunts, uncles and cousins. In short, dating is what creates families. We all know that healthy family structures are what we lack as a community. So then, this problem must be traced back to its roots – dating.
