This isn’t surprising. The humanistic culture of the government schools is so powerful that it overwhelms even the relatively strong Mormon culture. Imagine what it is doing to the average “happy-clappy” Evangelical teen and young adult.

As the percentage of women that are liberal is exceedingly high... why would any conservative male willingly spend time in the same room with them... let alone marry one

and since men are more often conservative then women... there is a problem

If you’re looking for a college educated woman... the supply is very limited

I don’t know much about Mormons except that I know a few.

Italians, French, Spaniards, Americans....a whole raft of men and women have practically lived with their parents for years longer than in a previous generation.

You think of someone getting on his car or his horse and striking out on his own at a young age, and such a thought, in comparison with what life has become, seems like a fairy tale.

Another problem is that a modern divorce can have you wrung dry and destroyed in every sense of the word. One of my acquaintances even lost her own home (don't know why, I never asked, fearing that I will get the whole story.) She ended up nearly in the street, was living with friends, completely broke. Today a marriage is a gamble with your life; and the rate of divorces is high. And why wouldn't that be so if a divorce offers a financial gain to one side and an opportunity to do the same thing again?

What surprises me is that Mormons believe in no sex before marriage. Usually that is an effective incentive to marry young.

Funny — I thought women walked down the aisle. I thought men were waiting at the altar.

“It takes effort to go on an actual date, which discourages a lot of guys.”

Duh?

Guys who think like that are not marriage material. It also takes effort to be a husband and father. It takes effort to just plain grow up.

What about all those spirit babies waiting to be born?

‘“These kids are terrified of making a mistake,” he said. “They think too much and overanalyze everything.” “

Not exclusive to Mormons IMO.

Probably a good thing. Why expedite the socially directed incentive for women to marry men have children and leave them to garnish their wages for support and then remarry to have three incomes? That’ll happen soon enough!
