What People Today Think About The "Marriage Crunch"

Written on June 1, 2008

With more and more people marrying later in life, it seems that people today think the original Marriage Crunch prediction was incorrectly made. In fact, those who were born in the Baby Boomer era, are more than 90% likely to remarry or marry after the age of 30. Many of these marriages occur after divorces.

The younger generations that were too young to fully understand the Marriage Crunch article when it first came out in the 80s still find it a bit alarming. In fact, many young women nearing thirty would likely get a little nervous reading the original text. However, it should be stated that women and men both are choosing to marry later in life. People are dating longer and many are choosing to finish their education before marrying and starting a family.

Of course, those in younger generations likely wouldnt even know what the Marriage Crunch was, unless they were told in a class or by family members as they grew older. It is simply not as big of a deal now as it may have been then. Women are often choosing single life over marriage, even when they have the choice. Even unmarried women are choosing to become mothers without even thinking twice about needing a partner for parenting.

So, it could be stated that people today could care less about the Marriage Crunch and likely find it ridiculous. In fact, even if they did buy into the facts from the original article, they might not even care. After all, many young people think marriage is no longer a necessity.

As much as they say the marriage crunch is over, it still exists in Asian-American societies, see our marriage crunch research.
