Deep dives

The Changing Landscape of Marriage

Fewer couples are pursuing marriage today, often waiting longer to tie the knot, due to the complexities introduced by the sexual revolution. This cultural shift has been attributed to factors such as the birth control pill, which disconnected procreation from intimate relationships, ultimately normalizing sex outside of marriage. As a result, young men are less inclined to seek serious relationships, leaving many women desiring marital security without available options. Marriage is increasingly perceived as a capstone achievement rather than a stepping stone to adulthood, altering its traditional role in society.
