[quote=Anonymous]I think this feels novel to millennials because there is this expectation among a lot of millennials that your marriage will be some idealized best friendship but with sex and kids. I don't think prior generations ever expected this. Millenials are also more status and image conscious than older generations, in my observation. Because of social media -- many millennials started adulthood either right as social media really got going, or after it was in full swing. They invented stuff like wedding hashtags, destination and joint bachelor/bachelorette parties, and instagramming their honeymoons. I think when there is an expectation that your marriage be publicly displayed in this way, there's also an expectation that you be super connected and in sync. It's a very romanticized view of marriage and I'm not surprised if 5, 10, 15 years on, many of these folks are belatedly realizing that it is unrealistic to maintain this kind of marriage. Especially with kids.[/quote]
