mairage is as religious rite which has filtered it's way into secularism. the less religious a society the less mairage will occur. also with the high devorce rate and premarital sex there is higher risk and lower benefit. the cliche "why buy the cow when you get the milk for free" has basis in reality. I am one of few males who wanted mairage his whole life, but without my religion or my treeroot philosophy I would probably date around forever.

Perhaps the higher social acceptance of single couple living together, or it could be more people aim for success and they may consider familys as a disadvantage in the working world? I'm not quite sure I guess I've never really thought about it, good question btw.

because it's not necessary to commit to marriage any more. Young people are more independent from their families than in the past.

I watched married people argue and fight and thought, "Bugger that! At least if I don't get married I can leave whenever I feel like it." I didn't want to have kids anyway so that helped too. Eventually I decided I should marry some girl but I didn't have a steady income at the time, and I didn't want to get married without any idea on how to "get established". She got sick of waiting and found someone else (but I don't know if she married him.) So for me: Too hard, can't afford it. ;)

It's easier to move in together now then it used to be. Theres not that embarrassment. Then the "we will get married when..." starts to happen. After awhile, the idea of marriage is silly since nothing will change in the relationship except "a piece of paper" (which is actually a whole lot in legal and religious terms!) Moral of the story... if you want to get married someday, don't live together first! ...but thats just my opinion!
