Hm... IMO, falling median household income is the reason for delaying marriage...
- dagw 11y agoHow so? I mean being an unmarried couple isn't cheaper than being a married couple. At least among everybody I know, the reason for delaying marriage is that marriage isn't seen as that important any more, especially before kids show up in the picture. The only argument I could see is that falling median household income is the reason people are delaying having kids, which then makes getting married early less important.
- lmm 11y agoFor people who feel the weight of particular social expectations (which I agree they shouldn't but that's a separate discussion), weddings themselves are expensive.
