Is Today's Generation Taking Too Long to Get Married?
Well, according to Dr. David Popenoe, yes! He’s a professor emeritus of sociology at Rutgers University, and director of the prestigious National Marriage Project there. He has a lot to say on the matter.
For one thing? He thinks our high expectations concerning marriage today doom too many of them to failure before they start. (Think of Eharmony’s promise to help you find your “soul mate.” It may be no wonder that already, the evidence seems to be that marriages which come from Eharmony have a higher break-up rate than the culture as a whole!)
Personally, I’m beginning to think we might want to bring back arranged marriages — okay, I’m kidding but then again. . .
