As to your first point about Divorce, let me ask you a question. Why is it that people who get divorced didn't figure out that the relationship wasn't going to work before they got to the point of getting married?

About the young girls (I'm guessing that's what you mean by "my niece's age") getting pregnant, why were they having sex in the first place? Did they think it was cool? Did they not want to do it but had trouble sticking up for themselves? Did other people squeeze them into doing it? Did they not understand the problems pregnancy can cause? A combination? Arguing that premartial sex causes these problems ignores a lot of other social and peopel issues that go into the decisions.
About the divorces: I've seen divorces too. First one, my dad had an affair, the marriage was going down the drain anyway, the divorce happened. I don't remember exacly what the whole process. Second one Ithink just fell apart, Don't remember why it happened. Third one was going fine for awhile, than arguments started, than they got into a fight, she got punched real hard, they got divorced. From what Isee no pre-marital sex involved, just people who didn't learn to work things out and/or wouldn't change something in order to make it work better, plus some anger control problems. I'll certainly be keeping all this in mind for friendships and marriages later on in life. Notice, though, no sex issue,s at least that Isaw, it was mostly money or general problems issues.
For your examples, what did happen in these marriages? It would explain a lot more. In some cases, maybe people need counseling, or maybe need to ask arund to see if similar problems have happened and what worked and didn't work.
About moral decay: Saying premarital sex leads to decay or morals is morality nitpicking, in that people make up a lot of rules to get everyone to follow arlong with they few ipoortant ones. Maybe there are a lot of people who need this, I'm not really sure. But I don't like someone coming in and telling me to follow certain rules just because they are morality rules, I can figure out for myself why certain ones are important or not, and which ones that I'd follow.
