Interesting take.
Sheetal, thank you for pointing the props of marriage, the strongest element that determines where a society is headed towards. America is already suffering due to rising number of single parents and it is definitely the strongest foundation that shapes our lives in my personal opinion.
That said, I don't think that's the sole basis on how you can infer that Europe is falling apart. European life is the best in my personal opinion but at the same time, its way too liberal. No bondage.
As far as "cheating" is concerned, cheating/adultery is based on how a society perceives sexual acts. In South American, the outcry over two adults having sex ( married or unmarried ) aren't as big as they are here in the states. Lets forget India and Nepal.
On topic, I reckon the original query fails to completely ignore the main issue - our immigration statuses. I'm a permanent resident myself ( 4 years before I can file for citizenship ) and I'm in a massive dilemma on who or where to marry ( being single, finding a girl is a different issue altogether ). If I married a girl here, and say if she didn't have a decent job, her legal status...etc will haunt me. If I found a girl ( during a visit to Ktm ), and fell in love, when shall I marry?
Marrying a Nepali girl is the best way to go in my humblest of opinions. Please note that I've never dated a Nepali girl but American girls are like American cars while Nepali girls are like Japanese cars. Flashy, attractive, glamorous from inside and outside, when new - i.e. an American girl ( exceptions occur ) but when it comes to long term prospect, nobody comes close to a Nepali girl. Besides, Nepali girls aren't too bad looking either but I don't wanna stress on looks only.
And this again ( sadly ) brings me to the issue on marriage. Marrying a Nepali girl educated here ( w/ great morals etc. of course ) is the most ideal thing in my personal opinion. After having spent almost 6 years here, I'm too "Americanized" for my own good. I wish to incorporate myself into Nepali traditions, beliefs etc but I can't ignore the American aspects that I've acquired/learned either. A Nepali girl, born, raised and educated in Nepal will take quite a lot of time to get adjusted ( again, exceptions occur ).
All that said, the ones who are in a great relationship right now are really lucky. That's what leads me to wish that there were some Nepali girls at the college I studied. Pity that was never a case. And I don't mean to sound insecure or anything. Just sharing my personal opinion. I don't wanna find myself taking a route that my parents and grandparents did i.e. arranged marriage.
