[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yet.... my 3 kids are in their early twenties and are going to/ participating in multiple weddings each this year. There is also a trend of people getting married younger, as in before 30. [/quote]

That doesn't make any sense in the context of the article.

First, getting married before 30 isn't a trend...it has been that way literally since they started compiling statistics.  The median marriage age for men is 29 and women 28...and that's the highest it has ever been in the US.

Some other quotes from the article:

The share of women ages 18 to 40 who are single—that is, neither married nor cohabitating with a partner—was 51.4% in 2023, according to an analysis of census data by the Aspen Economic Strategy Group, up from 41.8% in 2000.

In a 2023 Pew Research Center survey of 5,073 U.S. adults, 48% of women said that being married was not too or not at all important for a fulfilling life, compared with 39% of men—up from 31% and 28% in 2019.
