Be the first to Comment 0 Recommendation(s) VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Is marriage going the way of the leisure suit? A new study suggests marriage is becoming obsolete.
It seems love is still alive, but marriage might not be doing so well. A study from the Pew Research Center shows almost 40 per cent of Americans believe there's no point in taking a walk down down the aisle. That number has gone up since the '70s when only about a third of people felt that way.
The study shows nearly one in three American kids are living with a parent who is divorced, separated, or never married. The changing opinions seem to be driven mostly by young adults with more liberal attitudes.
One of the researchers told USA Today that almost 70 per cent of respondents are still optimistic about the future of marriage. |
