Some of that is due to the lowered earning potential of Millennial males compared to previous generations, thanks to globalization and more women competing with them for careers.
Paul was neutral at best, 1 Corinthians 7:8-9.
When the millennial women do get married they like the big expensive weddings at resort destinations. It cost the guests thousands of dollars to attend, not to mention the cost of the wedding. A few years later they get divorced, but she had her big day.
>>It appears that women born in 1980 are going to have a 30% of chance of never being married. And women born in 1990 much higher.
>>Very interesting in that 75% of women were married by age 23 who were born in 1940, compared with 19% born in 1990.
We’re gonna need cats.. lots of cats... to keep up with demand.
Don't get me wrong -- speaking as a millennial myself, a lot of millennials just suck. But not all the blame can be placed on them.
...cheaper and easier to stay sat NGOs and have the occasional girlfriend....
Not biblical, though.
Two of my kids are married now. One at 18 one at 19. If you are keeping Gods law you are motivated.
>>> Well ...
A mother who grew up being taught that KILLING your kids is a sacred right (or rite) might consider doing that.<<<
I think women have more choice than ever before. And it is having a negative effect on happiness. As any choice you make closes the door on other paths your life could have taken. And then you start to think the choice you made to settle down and have kids isn’t the good one: Because you’re not happy and fulfilled.
IMHO women would be more happy as a group if they were simply expected to get married, keep a home and raise kids. I see women, an ex-wife up close and personal too, try to do it all. It’s exhausting and you can’t do it all well. But these women are raised to believe otherwise. And that sets them up for dissatisfaction. Just my humble opinion as a male chauvinist ;)
For more than a few women that I know, "Compromise" means "I do what I want, when I want, and as often as I want". Any disagreement makes you a misogynist. I try and avoid them like the plague.
Unsurprisingly, many of them are single. "No men want me, what's wrong with all of them?". Those that are married are married to men who are a nebbish, or in a few cases, never at home - travelling for work, etc.
Anyone here on FR with a successful marriage knows that it's a ton of hard work, and constant compromise on both sides. And, in my particular case, the most worthwhile thing that I've done other than raising WBill Jr.
Paul didn’t define Natural Law.
He sounds like a Muzzie.
“You mean other than Christ’s directions to do so?”
Christ never ordered us to get married.
“The list goes on...”
Add environmentalism, staying in college longer, college loans.
In the US 40% of kids are born out of wedlock, in Israel and Japan it is 5%. It seems like the US government prefers unmarried people raising children.
Millennials: The Worst Generation. They are pathetic and apathetic.
Today’s culture teachers teach women hypergamy is aok! So “just being” and not lifting a finger is just fine in a relationship; and if he does not like it - hes a misogynist, narcissist, whatever. Its really bad advice.
Abstinence or Marriage.
That’s the choice.
This is part of it. Yes.
The other part is that the majority under 30 are still living with parents.
Red Pill awareness.
“Yeah I think the young guys are starting to mock the “man up” advice.”
They’re immune to it by now. It was the first tactic tried by the feminists when men went on “marriage strike” (shaming). It won’t work any better coming from older men than it will coming from women.
