Harping on people to get married from up in the ivory tower fails to engage with reality of life in the dating trenches.

      Marriage is the ultimate sign of commitment, making your relationship legal and/or spiritual while declaring it in front family and friends.

      Men who are against marriage are seemingly against commitment, but I think that comes out of a strong desire for commitment and stability.

      Children are whole different issue from marriage admittedly.

          plus you’ve got societal expectations for marriages. honeymoons, church marriages, the recitals and all that can cost big money. even just the photography. It all costs a bunch of money that some people just don’t have, and they’re too hesitant to burn bridges over it. Sure, you can elope in secret right? But that’s a bigger can of worms then just staying partners
