I think that there is a lot of different reasons for this, there is the divorce rate, there is the fact that they know they can live with someone if they want to and walk away when they want, making it easier to just live together and not get married, I also think that a lot of people, have either gotten into bad situations and don't trust, so they are hesitant to jump into a marriage, which is a good thing. I think some of them are working on themselves, their goals are not marriage, it might be their education, job, career ect... In general there is a lot of reasons, but one main one probably would be that they are not seeing the committment from their parents, i.e. divorce, so they don't quite understand how and what a good marriage is. Because they don't see it at home, and are use to the parents being more single now days. Most people are led by example, and the examples now days is not marriage, so it seems.

Look back a few generations...
Baby boomers
Baby baby boomers
Generation X Y Z and whatever else lame names that they can come up with
and now the Nintendo Generation has come full circle.
People basically just stopped caring about making the personal connection anymore.. It got easy to just teach your kids to go away and learn from some other medium than parents teaching good morals and etc. Add on that the extreme divorce rate and infidelity almost become completely mainstream and church/religious groups/peer pressure giving incomplete and inconsistant information on the subject and you have a universal group of people in constipated relationships in which they had no understanding about nor did they have anyone they could voice concerns about.
We are lost as a species now. There is love but people over think it... too afraid of being hurt.. or turning out like someone they know or heard of. Afraid of losing control and losing ones self instead of building on relationships they expect them to be premade and easy.
At least that is what i have seen..

Well it's hard to find a partner period now a days. When you do THINK you've found that special person, you have to worry about the consequences of a divorce before you even walk down the aisle. A lot of people just settle for common law marriages, or just long term relationships with no validation of a commitment. I think people are just afraid to fall in love, and all that comes with being in a relationship.

I don't think its hard but I will say that marriage has taken a back seat to career and getting ahead in life financially for a lot of people. Right now I'm newly married, broke, and happier than I was before.

simple,NOW a days men or women are becoming moresmarter, and the reality of it, for a man/woman to fall in love,they have to spend time to get to know one another, and now a days married is a bit more harder,cause one day soon it might end up in divorce,...protect each others self respect.

Stray Dog you hit the nail on the head.
The government and the religious right has made marriage and parenting a dangerous proposition. Commitment doesn't live in a piece of paper like a marriage license.

Because marriage isn't a priority as it was say back in the 50's. Monogamy for a lot of young people is a thing of the past, it's now, "How much can I get?". Sad but true.

To involved in other things like getting an education, a good job, the house, the car, etc.
Have forgot to build relationships, so it has become harder to maintain long time relationships that will lead to marriage.

Yeah, when you find out, let me know cause i seriously just hate losing what I have to other people.
Big guess is that they lose interest as quick as a snap of the fingers.
Better hope the girl can't snap next time if you're curious.
