Wait till they see what those numbers look like 10-20 years from now with this generation

Something is not adding up with this study cause I see plenty of 40 + married couple in public all the time.

75% is still majority, so yes this does add up...

[MicIsGod]

Seems low actually

 

[Armchair Militant]

GEE EM BEE!

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

25% still seems low?

Not exactly. That's 1 in 4 adults that have NEVER been married. Then you take the 3 in 4 adults who have been married and 50% of them have been divorced.

I'm not saying marriage can't work but ...

The stats are horrible.

IN A SOCIETY THAT DOESN’T BELIEVE IN GOD, LACKS FAITH IN THE GOVERNMENT AND SEES LOVE AS PURLEY TRANSACTIONAL, LOW MARRIAGE RATES ISN’T A SURPRISE.

Not surprised

I’m 41 and even though I’m engaged and majority of my boys are married, I come across a ton of unmarried generation x and millennials…

Too many of them still living in fantasy delusional land and thinking the perfect person is on the way to their place
