Also, folks in Florida be like:

Yes, indeed! It's wet and cloudy in Seattle.

It's a fine question.  I think one without any doctrinal answer, but one we can speculate and opine about.
I think about dispensations and folks setting off into new uncharted territory needing guidance from the Lord.  We are a relatively young restored church - a scant 200 years.  The restoration kicked off something that doesn't need a bunch of changes.  The D&C is a record of those changes. 
I think about how things get canonized, sometimes a lifetime or three after the record is actually made.  It makes me wonder, as the Proclamation on the Family approaches turning 30, if it might become part of the D&C eventually. 
I also think about Enos, Jarom, and Omni, books documenting ~300 years of BoM history, and how they get only 3 short chapters.  Enos gains a solid testimony.  The Lamanites resist missionary efforts. Prophets keep prophesying same old stuff. Oh look, it's Zarahmelans.  3 centuries, that's it.  
Omni gets 3 verses.  One verse saying "I'm writing something because my dad told me to."  One saying "I fought a lot, and wasn't a good person."  One saying "Lotta peace, lotta war, nothing much else to say. Wrote this down because it's tradition, so here's my son Amaron for you."   Amaron's record is equally as short and unremarkable.  Holy, sacred scripture at it's most routine and unremarkable.  Omni certainly didn't think anything about him or his record should have been thought of as holy or precious, other than he was an unimportant part of an important story.
It makes me think about what 2020-2024 would look like in scripture.  "A new plague crossed the entire world and killed many of the old and sick.  In the church, there were some disputations about how the sickness should be dealt with, but mostly the saints did their best to practice their religion in safety.  I, Russel M. Nelson, being a doctor by trade, urged the world to receive a medicine, but nevertheless to love all no matter their choice.  The sickness did not stop us from our missionary work, nor did it slow our work of building new temples at a fast pace across the world.  Nevertheless, the dark one took advantage of the disruptions caused by the sickness, sowing much confusion and dissention among the children of men, with some men crying "lo, I am a woman", and others crying "because of injustice of one, it is not just to be subject to laws enforced by many".  And these notions did confuse and anger many, including amongst the saints."   A heck of a lot more interesting than Omni, if you ask me.  

I’m not sure anyone is worried about it. It’s more interesting than worrisome. 

They fear to commit because there is a part of them that always wants to be able to run away from discomfort. Very sad.

It's about historic preservation and trying to unlock the mysteries of the past. 
People forget that even solid objects can be lost or destroyed over time, and all too often they're lost or destroyed deliberately.

It is my understanding that in the USA police are obtained from the citizenry of our country.  But when acting in their duty that they are not acting as citizens but rather as officers of the law.
 
The Travelert

Meanwhile on the TravelerCam, we see him sitting on his front porch watching some teenagers.

I would probably ALSO trust the police force far more when it comes to arresting people.
The military is trained more to kill then to restrain (or detain), at least the portions I served in and when I served.

Very true, and probably why the church has preached so hard, for decades and decades, for it's women to get lots of education and marketable skills.    We can social program and UBI and food stamp and welfare as much as we want to, but the life of a single mother can be rough, and getting torn between raising your kids and getting a crappy job can be soul-crushingly rough.
It's also true that 7 out of every 10 divorces in the US are initiated by women.  

There’s nothing wrong with that lifestyle-until the man leaves his wife and she’s left with no “outside the house” skills and has to raise three kids by herself. 

What I don’t understand are those people who “fear commitment” but have matching tattoos and three kids together, yet are not married  

The other day I saw this hilarious comic strip of two people very pessimistic about their relationship,  bemoaning the frailty of relationships and how commitments never work out. Each panel moved from meeting to dating to marriage to some illness, all the while bemoaning how people never stay together and their relationship will fail, with the last panel showing them still together as gloomy old people.
Just... commit. Try it out. You might be surprised.
On a philosophical level, I suppose I can get behind the idea of a lifelong commitment without the legal paperwork of marriage, but it's still that, a commitment. 
And I strongly believe you should not be bringing kids into this world if you don't think of yourself as committed for the long haul.

I think most men would be okay with a FWB arrangement but to me the woman is basically a prostitute charging how much her rent is for her services. Not the qualities most look for in friendship 

I have a friend who does work part-time outside of the home, but I don't think she has a full set of outside the house skills. 
What they do have, and it isn't the worst option (particularly in their case where she is very much also the homemaker and homeschooling the kids as well) is a rather complex financial plan with a lot of stuff just in her name so that if he dies or runs off she has enough to pay for everything including a training/school plan for a number of years to get herself into the workforce. Hopefully it won't happen as her husband is in good health, knock on wood, and is the quintissential devoted husband and family man, but it's there.
I really don't get not having a plan. 

I’ve been married to the same woman for 20+ years, so this doesn’t apply to me. But I have friends who are single, don’t want drama but want sex, and would almost certainly be okay with paying for an apartment in exchange for a friends with benefits thing.
 
It’s gross and sinful to me, but I can see it happening.  

To be fair, most of the single women I know (uh, three of them. I don’t have many single women friends) wouldn’t put up with being friends with benefits, and certainly would not be a mistress to a married man. So I don’t think it’s common, especially out of your college years.  

There’s nothing wrong with that lifestyle-until the man leaves his wife and she’s left with no “outside the house” skills and has to raise three kids by herself. 

In a more civilized era, this was an uncommon though not unknown phenomenon. The neighborhood men (either those local, or those who took part in the families' social group, or those related, or some combination of all three) saw to it that the abandoned wife was treated as a widow and helped out with things so that she could continue her important mission of mothering her children while the men collectively and individually picked up the responsibility of surrogate father to the children. Wasn't a perfect system, for sure, but I think it beats our modern system of the government sending a check and everyone else just keeping their distance every which way.

Thanks pal, this always happens to me! 

May your phone charging cord work only in certain positions.

True, their safety is more important. Sadly, these kids are going to need major, major therapy in the future. They’ve had enough bad luck.
