Ridley-Marks says he won't settle for anything but someone who makes his heart pound. When she comes along is anyone's guess.

Of course they are. You notice that the article did not mention the easy availability of easy available women as a factor in men not getting married.
Another factor is that it seems to take men and women much longer to mature then it used to. Is it just me or does it seem that people in there 20's & 30's are stuck in a highschool mode of life? It also does not help that they also expect to have everything early on without any struggle at all. Big house, new car, great salary they want it now. No sense of working for a better life with the one you love. No sense of sharing good times and bad.
Nope just a shrewd calculation of balance sheets and what's in it for me. Too bad cause marriage is great.
Sure am glad I am celebrating 25 years of marriage today. I would hate to be part of the singles scene.
