The though of being with one person for the rest of your life that most people choose in they early 20s is a joke.

I hate to say it but I think this is true. We're not living in the generation are grandparents came up in when a man & woman settled down with each other and a few yrs later have kids. Times have completely changed. See I figure being a 20 yr old in my parents/grandparents generation was totally different than it is now.

The average 20 yr old is only 2-3 yrs removed from us and is just trying to put their adult life together. If you find someone married at 20 9/10 it probably isn't for the right reasons.

Then again ppl get married for all the wrong reasons regardless of age.

I like this idea

Income inequality.


Has nothing to do with peoples' ideals.

Yep income equality.

People have to go to school longer to get jobs.

People don't wait until marrige for sex or children.

Less social stigma for men and women who aren't married living together.

Marriage use to be basically a contract before this idea of "getting married for love" came into being.

But yeah...Marriage is gonna literally become a contract in the future. So will children too probably

People are in love with the "idea" and are not prepare for the work it entails and changes/scarfices it comes with..

why do younger people own less homes and mortgages? Is it because they prefer overpriced apartments and the sidewalks on a street?

why do younger people own less cars? Is it because they prefer a walking exercise to their 20-mile distant job?


The answer is the same.

Absolutely. Also great public transportation in a 24-hour city

Marriage doesn't help the man, but benefits a woman for life..everything u work for goes right into her hands when u say i do

Yup. Marriage is supposed to be about transfer of wealth (and regulation of sex, producing children etc)
