Because it’s really hard to be married. To be successful at it. I’ve been married 5 years. And boy I wish I knew what it was going to be like. It’s extremely rewarding but also very hard in that it requires one to be selfless and patient and to be willing to understand that your partner is a product of an upbringing that is likely very different than your own and they likely approach things very differently and have wide ranging takes on money or responsibilities in the home etc etc etc. Also people change. When we got married I’d say politically I was center right I think I’m much more left than I’ve ever been. She remains center right. Over the years I have learned how to change and adapt and compromise and I learned I wasn’t mature enough to get married but I love her so we did. My point is that it’s hard and I think folks are understanding that more and more now and deciding they likely don’t need the ceremony or the cost to show commitment to someone. Just my two cents.
