Marriage in our changing society

For time immemorial, all around the world people have glorified institutions that are helpful in continuing human race in an unhindered manner. Marriage, divine status of "mother", compromising and adjusting nature of females, stoicity of males, just to name a few. You can find direct connections between these qualities and how they facilitate easy proliferation of human race.

but i believe humanity has come to a point in its evolution where it can explore further and not just be responsible for continuing itself. Though reproduction still remains our primary responsibility, we have sufficient numbers already so that some of us can get off the hook. Anyways, with the existing and ever improving medical technologies, we have sent natural selection for a toss.

So i think its alright if some individuals choose not to produce offsprings and rear them, but rather go find a different purpose of their lives--good or bad, productive or not....i would not care as long as they don't end up being suicide bombers or something. Just don't undo what others are doing, and I feel this world won't be missing a few X and Y chromosomes after a few decades.

I don't think such a line of thinking makes someone anti-social. In fact, in my opinion both lines of thinking are perfectly OK; as for me, i haven't taken a decision yet....
