Please publish more from that issue of Love In America in the Saturday Evening Post. It would be interesting to see what was being portrayed then versus what seems to be the norm now.

Love and marriage have had their times
Of ups and downs, centuries past.
But soon they will be charged as crimes
Against the state and will not last.
As the corporate life evolves,
Usurping power globally,
The human condtion dissolves
Into improved technology.
Test tube procreation will start
The human cycle. In between,
To still all matters of the heart,
Programs run the “human” machine.

In the 21st century,
Love and marriage no more will be.

You say marriage is declining because couples deliberate more, marry later and often postpone due to economic conditions. These factors may contribute to fewer marriages. However, they should–if anything–cause the number of marriages actually occurring to be more successful. But soaring divorce rates tell us such is not the case.
The problem, obviously, lies elsewhere.
