"............millennials may change the game when it comes to how we approach marriage.
Beta: The union can be formalized or dissolved after a two-year trial period.
One of the arguments is that since millennials are used to having many options in every other area of their lives, why would marriage be any different?
Why are churches & society pandering to this younger generation that seems to be, much more than usual, rooted in self?
It's a scandal when people waste their lives on things they must do in the darkness where no one will see. Rip the cover off those frauds and see how attractive they look in the light of Christ. So watch your step. Use your head.

The larger takeaway seems to be that in a changing world, millennials will be able make decisions about marriage that are right for them with less stigma. It's not like anyone is stopping couples from drawing up their own beta marriage contracts right now, but it would probably be met with some skeptisim.
