Quote by Keith O'Brien
There is no doubt that, as a society, we have become blase about the importance of marriage as a stabilising influence and less inclined to prize it as a worthwhile institution.

Summary
This quote suggests that in our society, we have started to undervalue and underestimate the significance of marriage as a stabilizing force. It implies that we have become indifferent and nonchalant towards the institution of marriage, no longer considering it to be a valuable and meaningful arrangement. This change may stem from a decreasing appreciation for the contribution this traditional institution makes in maintaining stability and cohesion within relationships and families.
