Horse crap. It’s the “free milk”.
My grandfather used to say why buy the cow if the milk is free.
If the milk was the reason for the marriage this trend's probably for the best.
I think you’ve got it right.
It might also have much to do with unrealistic expectations of what young married life should be. That includes dealing with a budget based on actual income.
Horse crap! It's the fact that women divorce for any reason whatsoever due to "no fault divorce" and take 50% of the man's stuff with them when they refused to work a day in the last 15 years.
Forget it! I tell both my sons to never EVER get married. Period. They saw what their mother did to me, that's all they needed to see.
