I think people are having kids out of wedlock because of government meddling in family law, the welfare state and an overall breakdown in morality. I have questions about marriage myself. It seems very risky for a man these days.
The family institution is the most important part of modern civilization. I hope the majority of society does not come to see family as obsolete like you do.

You do realize that you can have a family without actually being married right?
I agree that having 2 parents is best for kids, but it doesn't matter if they are legally married or common law. What it really boils down to is kids need stability and good role models. Nothing the government has done with 'family law' has hurt that.
They don't need 2 people joined together with a nice ceremony and a legal document to provide those things.
