Very interesting in that 75% of women were married by age 23 who were born in 1940, compared with 19% born in 1990.
Gosh I have a hard time caring about millennials at all.
Why would any man want to get married with the way the courts screw them over in divorce?
Of course not. Half our parents got divorced or we got to see the results of what happened to our friends. Or our fathers.
And we were all like, screw that. Might as well just not do it in the first place.
With the high rate of divorce, and men being taken to the cleaners by their ex-wives, who in their right mind WOULD WANT to get married???
It’s cheaper and easier to stay single and have an occasional girlfriend.
someone has to push the toy dogs in the strollers
think of the solid foundation that was laid for this country and undoubtedly, the fastest upsurge in the prosperity of the middle class that ever was, at least in my opinion...
they had children...
the schools were full of happy children..
the churches full and flourishing...
it was the best of times...
the leftists in the 60's just killed it all off and now look where we are......
As much as it shames me to admit, I’m a millennial, born 1984. There’s a reason I married foreign. 90% of American women these days are total garbage.
Another obvious reason in these days of sexual revolution:
Why would you buy the cow if you get the milk for free?
Apres moi, le deluge (if my luck holds).
Well duh- They don’t want to get married only to end in divorce because trump is president- (referring to earlier thread about how some whiny little liberal dolts are divorcing because trump is president and causing arguments in their marriages)
1. There is a "marriage penalty" under the IRS.
2. The government promotes women in business. Worrying about marriage and a family prevents women from breaking the "glass ceiling."
3. Women get more money/benefits from the government for having children out of wedlock.
4. Courts are quick to side with the woman. The husband is assumed guilty.
It is the government, through official policy, which is destroying the American family.
I’ve been paying $20,000/yr alimony since about 1989. Kids look at me and maybe decide against it.
Moving out of your parents home is the first step.
I thought they are marrying themselves

Why are these people so stupid?
Do they have any idea what it takes to get married, have babie$, buy mortgage$, insurance for everything, health care, cars, payments, clothing, utilities, food et al?
Those things take real good paying SECURE jobs, benefits etc. Same for the wife because she also has to work around the clock to play like they did in old America where all that was doable with just one income.
We are simply following Europe into the abyss.
Extreme socialism combined with uber-low birth rates.
That means you import the Third World to do the work and pay for the aging native population. The Muslim World Revolution in action. Demography is destiny.
It seems the only ones in any hurry to get to the altar are the same-sex crowd.
I didn’t marry until 37 and have no regrets. It took a long time to find the perfect woman for me. There’s nothing wrong with being selective. Too many today, however, don’t want to pay for the cow when the milk is free.
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.
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.

We’re gonna need cats.. lots of cats... to keep up with demand.
