[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No idea if it's a trend or not but many of my younger DC's friends under 25 are engaged and few are married. Surprisingly, most of them are high achievers and from educated, upper/upper middle class, two parent families.

[b]Apparently, they are inspired by relationship troubles millennials are facing with hook up culture and app based shallow dating leading to single-hood or divorces.[/b] Imho, pandemic also put things in perspective for them. They don't want to put real lives on back burner for sake of processional lives. [/quote]

Oh this is so interesting. I can see how it would make being single and dating seem very unappealing (compared to most ppl's impression of being a single 20-something like 15 yrs ago). College and grad school are prime time to actually meet people IRL who you might be compatible with, followed closely by the first couple yrs out of school when networks are strong and you meet friends of friends socially etc. I got married at 30 but really see the appeal of getting things locked down earlier to avoid OLD.[/quote]

I doubt they’re inspired by millennial marital troubles. Millennials are hanging out with recent college grads, they’re too far after us to be friends, and too close to be our kids.

I think it’s all the Say Yes to the Dress and #tradwife social media these days. [/quote]
