Why is this happening?

Because the Wrong Wing is protecting the sanctity?

Economics.

Let's ask Rev. Fallwell.

Yep, turns out it's the gays.

Women won't marry a man without a job. Men don't have jobs.

An overwhelming regulatory burden.

My experience with the 20 Somethings shows them to be amongst the more accepting of their peers regardless of gender, race, or sexual orientation.

They may be the most concerned about an institution that fails nearly 50% of the time and is perceived to be so fragile its proponants feel the need to protect it from and discriminate against their friends.

Imagine Newt Gingrich protecting the sanctity of marriage.

From whom?

I blame the 19th Amendment. It should be repealed.

Giving women the right to vote is causing the drop in marriage rate? Why do you think this?

If that was the case then why are college graduates, whom you would expect to be fully informed about these horrible odds, going against that statistic? From the article:



College graduates are more likely to have jobs. It is pretty difficult to get married while you are forced to live with mom and dad. It is the economy.

Hey, you spin your story. I'll spin mine.

Because taxes are too high on the marriage-creators?
