Are people getting married later because of the economic problems we've been having?

It rose to 28 for men and 26 for women this year. It rose a lot since 2000, when it was 27 for men and 25 for women, is it because of the economic problems we've been having, which causes couples to delay marriage?Are people getting married later because of the economic problems we've been having?
It's probably most likely due to peoples values and formal education. College students now tend to take the studies so seriously they forego serious relationships and finish their education first. Are people getting married later because of the economic problems we've been having?
As expectations and the cost of weddings rise, and the likelyhood and the disadvantages of divorce increase, more people decide not.





Hey, wouldn't it be nice if the government recognised the social advantages of having children brought up with the same parents all their lives, and gave married couples some decent tax breaks - like that's ever going to happen...
I don't think that has anything to do with it. I think economics actually makes people marry eariler, as they cannot afford to live on their own otherwise.





I married at 38, simply because it took me that long to find Mr Right, and I wasn't about to marry anyone who wasn't my perfect fit just to be married. Economic pressures had absolutely nothing to do with it.
How many people were going to get married in the last 2 months? How many of those were cancelled due to ';economic problems?';





Seriously. This isn't a decade-long depression. People have been acting like the world is coming to an end. It JUST happened.
This question hav answered itself definitely it is the economy. u hav to make out something better with ur life b/4 thinking of marriage it takes more than love to hold a marriage.Unless u want to be happy only in the night bcos that is what the say about people who marry for love only.
Me if I ever get married it will be in my 30s because I will have my career and myself to fall back on. Also, so they say, men take way too much time to mature so hopefully by then i'll find one who is mature.
I would love to get married, we simply just can't afford too.





Thanx by the way for the thumbs down, and i totaly agree with man of chrome this government is all about helping the single parent.
The delay is mainly because of two reason.


1. Economical stability


2. People are pursing more than just bachelor degree.
i guess economic problem is not the reason may be as time goes by they became wise enough to enjoy first their single lives before trying a knot..
no they have having babies young and dont care/afford a wedding.
