Content: Drifting Apart in the Twenty-First Century] by Jacqueline Olds and Richard S. Schwartz. According to Dan Moller's "Bachelor's Argument", modern marriage can be compared to the act of "forging professional credentials." Over 40 percent of them fail and therefore should be avoided similar to any high-risk venture. Commentators have often been critical of individual local practices and traditions, leading to historical changes. Examples include the early Catholic Church 's efforts to eliminate concubinage and temporary marriage, the Protestant acceptance of divorce, and the abolition of laws against inter-faith and inter-race marriages in the western countries. The decision not to marry is a presumed consequence of Søren Kierkegaard 's philosophy. His well-documented relationship with Regine Olsen is a subject of study in existentialism, as he called off their engagement despite mutual love. Kierkegaard seems to have loved Regine but was unable to reconcile the prospect of marriage with his vocation as a writer and his passionate and introspective Christianity. A similar argument is found in Franz Kafka 's journal entry titled "Summary of all the arguments for and against my marriage": I must be alone a great deal.
