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?
My 29 year old Nephew is getting married this year. Another next year and another LAST year.
The panicking is unwarranted as people get married later.
Quite odd that you don’t care about an entire generation of Americas.
But it’s a free country. :)
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.
Fortunately.
“Quite odd that you don’t care about an entire generation of Americas.”
Odd that you think it’s odd.
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
>>why would any man want to get married with the way the courts screw them over in divorce?
You mean other than Christ’s directions to do so?
RTFM.
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).
Yea I tend to care about all Americans. :)
Call me silly that way.
But you focus on yourself. Sounds like you’re good at it :)
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)
“Why would any man want to get married with the way the courts screw them over in divorce?”
that was the first thought that popped into my head when I saw the headline.
prenups help with property ownership in Colorado, but in Colorado a prenup can not override the State’s determination as to whether alimony must be paid.
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.
