Marriage and Vatican II

While reading the article I have realized society and Vatican II have many different views on marriage. For example in the article that marriage is a vocation an authentic or divine call.  Today I don't think people really view marriage as a vocation.  Some people in the Catholic church marry, but some do not.    I think today more people view their occupation as their vocation.  The article also mentions how love is supposed to grow over time.  The divorce rate is so high today and sometimes love definitely does not grow!  Some couples find that they cannot stand one another or even that their feelings have not remained the same.  Thirdly, the Vatican discussed the importance of starting a family.  Today some couples do not have any children for many reasons.  Some do not think they would be good parents, some choose simply not to have kids, and other cannot afford children.  The church is not taking into account all of the different circumstances.  I personally think some couples today are making good decisions about reproducing.  Some couples simply might not be good parents and might not be able to make a good life for their child.  Lastly, the article talked about how marriage is between a man and a woman.  Today we have some couples getting married who consist of two men or even two women.  I think the article discussed many good points about marriage, but society today views many aspects of marriage differently.
