And how did those societies turn out? What are they like to live in? Would you live in one?

    I live in one - New Zealand is a modern western society.

    Making marriage the norm would not fix any of the issues I see in my own society, and marriage causes other problems.

    Many people I know (including solo mums) that I know would love to find someone worthwhile marrying... However they haven't (or can't) find someone worthwhile, so it is better to remain single than get married into a dangerous relationship.

    I suspect you are mistaking cause and effect. Marriage isn't a cause, it is an outcome.
