I think the invention of these words has only served to highlight how we as a society don't treat marriage as seriously as we should. Not saying that those who say it are immature, I just don't like those words. I'd rather not use a little kid word to describe my wife when I could call her something like "my lovely". At least something a little more profound. It's almost like people test out marriage and play around, almost like playing house. You be wifey and I'll be hubby. We'll test this out for a while, live together. We'll see how much we like it after a year.
One reason we don't give marriage as much thought is because as a culture and society we're pretty bad about reading the Word. I remember many times people have told me (even amatuer Christians) "well the Bible doesn't say anything about getting drunk." Don't replace the Bible's truth with your conjecture. Until you read the Word, you might not have any idea.
Other reasons include a sexually focused society (therein being inherently selfish, because it's all about pleasing me me me). But I'm not gonna go into that right now. I imagine you already know. -G
