So lately, a lot of the older concepts are being challenged. A roundup of stuff I came across:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being single is no worse than, and may in fact be better than being married.
It is better to marry in your thirties than in your twenties (directed towards women.)
Marriage should be a renewable contract with periodic reviews rather than a death-do-us-apart matter. Instead of committing for a lifetime, marriage should be treated as a time-bound license.
Having children is associated with couples being less happy as compared to childless couples.
You should have the choice of which pronoun you prefer to be addressed by - whether you are a male/female or prefer not to be identified by these 'mere social constructs'.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A lot of these deserve thought and consideration. New ideas can take root or lead to better ideas only when the established thinking is challenged. I would practice a lot of caution though, before taking any advice on family life and relationships from modern western civilization.

Your thoughts are very welcome and I look forward to them eagerly. Just be mindful of being civil. This is a good book about the same in case you are interested:
