Good cultural flash
Nicely done and educational, thanks.
Also I should mention that different systems have their pros and cons, down here in the US we have almost a 50% divorce rate by some estimates, so it's hard to argue if our system works or not - also it's hard to say if the problem lies there or elsewhere.
At the same time, it's hard to imagine marriage with someone one barely knows, so it's a tossup.
Thanks for putting this on the table to debate though.
