Illegitimate coexistence as a trend threatening marriage institute

Abstract

The second demographic revolution has brought with it a new model of family and reproductive life, where one focuses more on individual interests, and creating a family is no longer a vital task. Parenting is not taken as a ‚duty to society‘, but is the result of careful planning, with the positive and negative impact of parenting on the relationship and future life. The creation of a family is increasingly used for individual self-realization and private fulfillment of family values. However, marriage can still be a motivating institute.
