This study researches the state of marriage during the Obama depression: 2008-2016. Depressions are generally not auspicious times to marry and/or have children. As the mother of two millennials, I have attended the weddings of four millennials -—with one yet to go-— in 2019. Our son will be married in 2020. It will be interesting to see if these studies change under the Trump Economy. The weddings I have attended this year have united millennial couples who are equals, both educationally and financially.
Matchmaking is one of my hobbies and several couples credit me for introducing them. American men in general and conservative men in particular, are the BEST in the world. The best women to marry tend to be Midwesterners by origin. I find a lot of truth in the “beauty/crazy” grid which is sometimes posted here.
good luck
According to a recent study, 90% of all divorces are initiated by college-educated women.
