Is Marriage Becoming Old-fashioned?


More and more Americans think that marriage is out-of date. According to a survey, 40% of over 2,500 people asked said that marriage was a thing of the past and does not work in our society any more. When the same survey was conducted thirty years ago, only

11% of Americans thought that marriage was old-fashioned. Marriage is still important but

not as important as it once was.

Of the people asked, most of marriage’s supporters were seniors, 65 and older. Groups

that thought marriage was obsolete included blacks and high-school graduates, as well

as people from lower income groups. Data collected in America has shown that people

marry less, and when they do, they marry at a higher age.

Today more and more couples get married simply because they love each other.

Financial stability no longer seems important any more. Young people are more serious

about marriage because they often witness their parents separating.
