I understand that parents play an early mindset role in young adults regarding values ethics etc, but I feel those characteristics are not ingrained, thank god.
What I'm still steering towards is just the lofty idea of making the idea of marriage....not so rigid, something with more choices.
Maybe I just need to think about it some more...crazy idea anyway.

I just don't see it as all black or white. I know everyone sees things differently.
Thanks everyone.

Exavtly! The concept of marriage is not all black and white anymore .
That’s what I was trying to explain. That’s why I said that view on marriage and ways of conducting marriage really depends what culture/religion/socio-economic level of a particular society/life style/individual preference etc
It’s not as black and white as marriage meant to be forever and if it could be changed into less rigid model. It already changed and keeps changing in sometimes slow and sometimes fast progression along with other changes in the world.
I tried to dig deeper and perhaps failed in my attempts to explain that nothing is black and white anymore. The world is changing and will keep changing. And so is institution of marriage
