What destroyed marriage?
Judith Reisman goes deeply into this problem and its sources. http://www.drjudithreisman.com/reisman_articles.html
The idea according to her was to change people's conceptions and present perversity in the guise of normalcy and scientific respectability. That is,-- if you change people's thoughts and attitudes then everything else follows.
My feeling about this is people are not familiar enough with science to be able to distinguish authentic science from fake science. I do not think rejection of science is much of a good option.
I am not saying this is the reason to learn Physics and Mathematics. The best reason to learn these subjects is the Rambam and my parents.
That is the basic medieval attitude of a synthesis between Reason and Revelation. [That really started before the Middle Ages, but it took a long time to find the right balance.] If you look at the classical period you will see this balance was by no means obvious.
But a side benefit is that when you know real science, it is harder for pretenders to fool you.
But the way I suggest going about science is to find a balance between Gemara, Rashi, Tosphot and Science.
[That is the best thing is to translate the Mediaeval ideal into a reality in every day life by learning a little bit of Physics, a little bit of Mathematics and a little Gemara Rashi Tosphot [or Mishna or the Avi Ezri of Rav Shach].] [I tend to think the Avi Ezri is the best because it already contains everything else good.]
In any case I am very happy that I got a chance to see what a real marriage ought to be like in my parents and I think that this will return. My optimism knows no bounds at this point.
