Americans' fascination with marriage is really odd to me. Lots of folks in my family have kids that they raise with both parents without being married.

  [Not an American] I think your bubble of the world where there are "lot of folks" raising kids without both parents being married seems an unusual setup. Where I grew up (India), majority of the kids are raised by married parents; a minority is raised by divorced parents and a tiny negligible number is raised by unmarried parents. Americans seem perfectly normal in that regard. Maybe your part of the world is unusual?

    It's not unusual. It's more developed.

      Temporarily. The low demographic renewal rates will result in drastic social change in the next century.

      Children raised by married parents is very much the norm around the world. It is definitely unusual. Whether it's developed or not is just your, frankly strange, opinion.
