I would also have to agree with this article. I am 22 and will be getting married in 6 months, however none of my friends from college or high school are making similar choices. While our family and friends have been supportive our decision to "marry early" as it were, others have been confused. Particularly late 20's and early 30's co-workers are put off by the idea, recommending not getting married until much later. I will note most of these individuals have never married, and seem to avoid long term relationships. So yes, this generation does seem to be avoiding/delaying marriage.
- MichaelSalib 16y agoMany of the people I knew who married at 22 made bad marital choices. At least in the eyes of their family and friends. I say that because they tended to marry before they had established careers and before they had really lived independently after school. Even if you think that modern society forces people to postpone adulthood for too long, it does not necessarily follow that early marriages will benefit people on average. After all, if adulthood is delayed, then immature people will tend to make bad choices regarding future mates. I married in my late 20s. I have not avoided long term relationships.
