The celebration of societal change in USA Today opinion piece

An opinion piece published in USA Today by two authors, Dr. Phil McGraw and Dr. John White, celebrates a societal change where young adults are delaying marriage and opting not to have children. The authors argue that the changing demographics and institutions such as marriage and family have evolved, suggesting that this societal shift is not cause for alarm. They cite statistics showing the rise in the median age for marriage and a percentage of Americans not wanting to have children as evidence of this change. While they view these changes as positive, from a Christian worldview, it is seen as a tragic and destructive fact about the future of American civilization.
