Gone are the days when people can't wait to get married; almost in every thought and conversation, something relating to getting married will spring forth, but the reverse is the case right now, and if we say we don't know why, I must say that's a lie because we actually do. Marriage has evolved from all it used to be, a safe space where you can get love genuinely and be cared for without any strings attached, to a position where someone is coming to you just because they want to bear a child, gain financial aid, assistance, and the like. Coupled with the trouble Western culture has added, many don't even want to go into marriage.
In the past, we didn't have many of the laws and trends that have made the ideology of marriage crumble in the sight of young people. Unlike in the past when someone got married to you because they loved you and saw a future with you, some just want to marry you because of what they tend to benefit from you, which isn't the way to go about it when choosing a life partner. And that's the basis for going into marriage; it's certain that such a home won't last. And when a home breaks apart, is it a good way to raise a child or not? Below I'll state my take on that.
Overall it's better if children are raised in united homes and not ones that are broken, but that doesn't mean all children raised in a broken home will turn out bad; if the parents are mature and put their individual differences aside, they'll be able to co-parent and raise their kids well enough, and no one will know such kids were raised from a broken home. Unfortunately that's not always the case; most people going into marriage now, once they break apart, usually use the children as a cant measure to get back at their ex-spouse, which is never a good thing, as the kids will be the ones to suffer the consequences of their parents' immaturity.
Nothing is impossible; like I stated earlier, it all goes down to the level of the partners' understanding, maturity, and readiness to put the children first above their personal gain, desire, and ego. Only then can the kids have the best upbringing despite the broken relationship between their parents.
