While rereading part of Her Hand in Marriage by Doug Wilson, I was struck by one of his remarks. Quite funny, but it was also very profound considering of culture's dating mentality. After that short introduction, I'll let his words speak for themselves....
"Objections to this assessment of the modern dating system may tend to come rather easily. Why can we not point to the successes, the happy endings in the modern dating system... The success stories within the modern recreational dating system, which certainly exist, are not the problem with it... The criticism is directed against the system generally considered as a system. People survive plane crashes too, some of them without a scratch, and we should all be happy about it. But this acknowledgement does not disqualify us from opposing the general habit of crashing airplanes." (Her Hand in Marriage, p.9-10) -- Emphasis mine.

How cute! I really should read that book. I've reads parts of it, but I really should read it cover to cover.
