Americans Are Getting Married Older Than Ever

I guess the others in this thread don’t like facts.

This basically ends the conversation.[/quote]

These are collective results, posters sharing their observation are mostly talking about young couples from affluent backgrounds, supportive families and promising careers.

Average young person is facing student loans, credit card debt, unemployment, underemployment, inability to afford housing, unclear future, dating dilemmas, etc. Our circumstances decide our choices.[/quote]

Affluent GenZs are even less likely to get married young.  Sorry, but these anecdotes are nothing more than anecdotes.[/quote]

hmm im an xennial and i dont think this is true.. affluent gen z in 'professions' are not as commitment/marriage phobic as we were from  what i can see of younger siblings and their friends.  especially the young men- they are much more open to the idea of getting married in grad school b/c dating when you are a young associate or a resident is brutal. there is actualy a slight disconnect with young men realizing marriege is a support but teh young women are seeing them doing the supporting and are like not yet....  also their parents are willing to subsidize them in a way that was super awkward for us older kids- we were a bit surprised that we couldnt afford life on our own and these kids take it for granted that mom/dad will pay for down payments, vacations etc. that they will always be somewhat funded by the parents.  I had a very hard time accepting that. [/quote]
