Though a lot of people in the area I live in are getting married more and young, I think globally, it will take a decrease.
I am not from the area I currently live in and I think it's odd that people in my age bracket (18-24) tend to get married so soon and early. I think it's ridiculous and a waste of youthful experience, in my opinion. They're not really thinking of 5-10 years down the line. I think many of them marry because they "think" they're in love; they don't want to be lonely or they're just jumping on the band wagon because everyone else is doing it or they feel pressured.
I'm originally from the upper midwest and I've been living in the south since I was 11. There are a lot of things I don't agree with nor understand out of the 12 years I lived here. Getting married so young is one if them. Back home, as far as I know, only one person I grew up with gotten married a few years back. That says a lot.
I just feel very uncomfortable and out of place living here. I told my family after college, I'm moving out of state and back up north where I belong. But before I settle down and marry, I want to travel and meet people. Get a global education that so many people take for granted.
I'd also like to mention that I cut ties with a girl I used to be friends with for 6 years, she's 3 years younger than me. She recently got engaged to a guy 7 years older than her within a year of dating him and they're marrying next month. Before the engagement, I told her to not rush things and to take things slow. Get to know him and never forget about your friends ir you'll lose them. I even questioned her why everyone gets married so young! It's kind of alarming!
Throughout our friendship, she would be oblivious and sort of immature, in a sense, she still had a lot of good qualities and was intelligent, book wise. I did tell her that I didn't deserve being treated as second rate and that I'd be willing to dump her as a friend, if things didn't improve in our friendship. When someone dates, especially for the first time, all their energy can get poured onto this one person. They begin to neglect on their other relationships with others, which can strain their relationships. I tried to warn her in the best way I knew how. Apparently, nothing changed. She recently invited me to her wedding but I told her that I wasn't gonna be attending. Besides hating weddings, I'm not gonna attend hers, especially if she's not gonna ever call or text to hang out with me or even say to my mother that, "I only have time for work and my fiancé".
Never take what you got for granted just because someone new came into your life. When one marries young, that tends to happen a lot!
I think as religion dies out a new form of contract will develop to replace traditional marriage. Perhaps one that only lasts a few years before you have to re-negotiate a new one.
Hard to say.
On one hand men are increasingly waking up to the dangers of divorce rapes and keep themselves safe from such a fate.
On the other hand men keep repeating this mistake and keep getting divorce raped, making themselves an example for the ones I described above.
And then we have the cost of living surpassing the wagecuck earnings, so that skipping meals becomes a norm. Imagine how men can get women if you can't buy yourself lunch?
Sooo, like... it probably isn't changing much overall.
@coachTanthony I believe the amount of people getting married will decrease in the next 10 years because I predict more people will become risk averse about marriages.

There's no reason to think it will increase
True, especially nowadays
In the west, probably decrease.
Other than myself in my close group of friend; only one other is engaged but she’s been engaged since we were in our 20s 😆
But my friend groups in other parts of the world, they’ll married with babies or married with pets or divorced.
Definitely decrease!!!
Seems like people can't find someone to be in a real relationship anymore, so I'm sure that will still be the trend in 10 years.
I can't imagine what would have to change to make this situation better. It only seems to be getting worse!
That's because a marriage ain't lasting forever like it should be, also the couples aren't aware of what a real sacred marriage is...
@TonyMetal___86
I couldn't have put it better.
Marriage has and will be on the decline until people taper off of social media and dating apps and live more in the real world. I doubt that will be any time soon.
Women get so much attention on social media and dating apps, it's fueled their egos and they all think they're the shit. It's to the point that in real life they don't even want men to approach them and unless you're in the top 10% of men you're most likely going to get told off.
This is a really interesting read:

And this is a fun video to watch on how women reject guys vs how guys reject girls:
https://youtu. be/DmP1ier3R30? si=81vEpA-mYtRzA4jM
Despite the trend in my own family (marriages and more engagements continue to occur) I suspect it will go down. Marriage for financial reasons isn't completely valid anymore, and I certainly note a decline in the ability of males and females to connect with each other for long-term relationships.
I think the numbers tell the tale , decease certainly , my daughters are about to turn 35 and 32 , no talk of marriage , just my tiny pole , I think this is projected around the world , marriage in the current form expected , just does not work.
Its pure fantasy , one person for a life time and you are 25 ? Give me a break , not possible , for those of us older , think of what you go though in 30 years !
Decrease because more men are aware of the majority of women's immoral, disgusting behavior and thievery. More men are letting each other know ahead of time about how women steal from men in divorce. Any woman that doesn't agree to a prenuptial agreement is a thief.
I think the amount of people getting married will decrease over time going forward. Unless the laws change, which is unlikely, most men realize the legal risks of getting married and refuse to do it. The laws won't get changed because the feminists will go crazy if they do and create a lot of trouble. So with unchanged laws, the marriage rate will continue to decline because most men are not stupid enough to risk marriage.
I think it will decrease further in the upcoming years. Though it will not effect the world population bcoz some couples will still marry and make babies. But being lonely, no companionship and sexless for a long time might effect the person's mental health condition.

That is exactly why the President let all of these millions of illegals; he said it himself that American's don't want to have kids anymore so the migrants will have the babies. He also said American's don't want to work anymore, so the migrants will do the work.
He must have had an inside clue that we need more people in the United States because America is going to hell in a hand basket.
@Raaj4you
That's exactly what President Biden said about them having the babies and going to work since Americans don't want to go to work.
To be honest, I didn't want to work, but I went into an office everyday at 8:00-5:00 MON-FRI for 30 years. Like they say "You don't have to like it, you just have to do it".
Divorce rates have been slowly lowering once they evened out following the legalization of no-fault divorce. I imagine there will be plenty of marriages to come in the future and that number will go up
There is little hope for an increase, and even if there were more "marriages", at least half of these will end up in a divorce anyway, and I expect the divorce ratio to skyrocket.
Overall, there will most likely be a decrease in marriages, especially functional ones.
Decrease. There’s no real need for marriage these days. You’re no longer shunned by society for having children outside of wedlock compared to 50 years ago, for example.
Marriage will decrease; marriage is an outdated concept. We can fall in love with multiple partners, and there's nothing wrong with it. At least, I don't see anything wrong with it. Well, it's just my opinion.
Younger women just aren't having the misogyny so it will decrease unless more men wake up and start being better people.
Men to wake up? Are the girls awake in the 1st place? 🤔
The feminazis did a grear job in destroying love, marriage and family between a couple...
@TonyMetal___86 Thanks for proving my point. Blocked.
@TonyMetal___86
Whoa, that was quite the roast, but I couldn't agree more.
@CalmUntilAbused A roast, how so? Was an evidence given or just simply a misogynistic opinion from someone low IQ?
any*
@chandelier8
Do You really need proof? I'll give You proof. Ever Heard of a certain Amber?
@CalmUntilAbused Are you really this low IQ hahaha
One person? A sample size of one shitty woman that fought with a shitty male? You can do better. How about FBI stats on male vs female violence. Go look that up.
@CalmUntilAbused Anyway, I have no more time for low IQ men like you. Carry on with your ignorant misogyny then. Are you in Gaza? If not, you should go, I'm sure you'd fit in with the men that enslave and whip women, very well, you're likely a pedo too. Time to block.
It depends mostly on whether the marriage will be needed for anything. For now, it is not, maybe for taxes. So why bother?
Decrease, until men have the same right & protections under law in 'Family Courts' and the 'judges' in those courts are unbiased and do not favour women as a matter of default. Until then the marriage rate will continue to plummet at the current rate, or even faster.
Even if the above is corrected I do not see the marriage rate start to climb in my life time.
I'd bet on an increase. Population is still growing so all numbers tend to get bigger. Plus, people live longer so you have to add in all the 2nd and 3rd marriages. Even the high rate of divorce will increase the number of people getting married. So yeah--it'll go up.
It will drop like a rock. With marriage skims, with 95% girls having unrealistic expectations, because all of them are trying to get top 15% who will never commit to a marriage, eventually marriage will be decline to an almost 0.
Decrease. There are no real incentives to marry, and a lot of danger if you have assets and earn a decent amount.
Probably neither. Stay about the same rate.
The immense majority of people just desire to get married at some point and will. It's just the way life has always been.
I think it’s going to plummet and reshape the world as we know it. Entire countries and cultures will be lost to the history books. I think the global population will drop below a billion before it corrects itself.
Decrease, too many hate the idea of a life-long commitment these days.
I say decrease because it feels to me like people are becoming more and more self centered. Also with the new AI stuff, men might start abandoning real women. And go for something that is easier, and less complicated to be with.
The "marriage machine " is definitely grinding to a halt as it has been slowly poisoned by women.
by the way, "the future is female" will hit a lot of women pretty fucking hard, and I can't wait.
@KrakenAttackin
I couldn't agree more, but there's no need to be so expectant and triumphant about it. It will still be a catastrophe for the society, You know...
@CalmUntilAbused Catastrophe is what it takes to get the attention of women. You sure can't just tell women anything.
@KrakenAttackin
That's just a local cataclysm. What's on the horizon is a total collapse of Western demographics. Some MGTOW might like the idea and I can't really blame them, but I believe there's still a way to prevent it and heal the society in a less drastic way.
Also... The list of points on which I agree with the MGTOW opens on the point that You should never ever go out of Your way to catch a woman's attention. If she does not notice You, she's the one losing a chance. Take care of Your health, but any looksmaxxing not related to Your own health is pointless. I guess this kind of attitude helps You retain a cool head and actually boosts Your confidence, helping Your chances of getting thr attention of women. It's a bit different if You already have some kind of relationship with a woman. But if her requirements keep rising to the point You feel like You'e going to suffocate, run and do not look back. Your life is too short to waste it on psychopaths.
@CalmUntilAbused Agreed. Women have burned up good will from men as a whole. Women need to reap the consequences of "hot girl summer", being "bad bitches", etc. At some point women will actually realize they are sharing the same top 4% men with no chance of commitment.
Women are also the main targets for the puppet masters "woke" onslaught. Women are the cause for the societal rot that is killing our country.
I used to help women with car problems or house problems, but I am done with that. 2:00 AM and a female is stranded by the roadside, I roll right on by.
@KrakenAttackin
Unfortunately, I have to disagree with Your diagnosis. It's quite ironic that You identified the single symptom that contradicts the diagnosis of women being the cause of the societal rot in the West, as You correctly pointed out that women are the main targets for the puppet masters' "woke" onslaught. The point is, women are mere tools for the aforementioned puppet masters, not the cause of this societal rot. It's also worth mentioning that it's not true for all women. There are some women who support the MRA and Fathers' Rights movements, thus not all women allowed themselves to be manipulated and turned into unfeeling, ignorant tools used to spread the societal rot. Thus, disregarding all women as evil will only lead to further societal rot and eventual societal and demographic collapse of the West, effectively fulfilling the goal of the evil puppet masters. While it is possible that the West is impossible to save directly at this point, if we can form teams of survivors that will include the women of goodwill, we can salvage our traditional Western culture from the collapse as the ashes of this self-destructive disfigurent of Western culture finally fall to the ground.
Unless something drastically changes in women's behavior, it will decrease for sure.
I should add that laws need to change as well. They are part of the problem because they enable women's current bad behavior with respect to divorce.
I honestly think it will decrease just like having children seems to have decreased in the world.
Why would it? Its been in decline, and there isn't an incentive to do so. Until divorce laws are updated to be fairer there's more reasons not to then to get married
I think it will decrease.. it doesn't seem to be a big need for people to have a family anymore..
Because the majority of people do not know what a real marriage is, also they do not want a family because they can't hold it's responsibility and seeking for an easy unstable life!
decrease obviously. cause the reason marriage exists is the inequality between men and women that we are more and more eliminating.
Probably increase
If Every man on earth right now was married there would still be about 3 billion single women leftover
Marriage rates will go up just not for westernized modern women
Marriage really isn't as common or "required" anymore, and for those who do get married usually end up divorcing and/or might go through a couple marriages later in life.
Marriage as a tradition will exist, but it's rate and relevance might decrease and it could be natural too.
As a species developes and become more stable, focus shifts to longevity rather than reproduction
It will increase as more people are born and more people will need to get married to have children
until there is some kind of equity between the sexes when it comes to marriage, decrease. Marriage is a losing proposition for men.
People only do situationships now and it's only going to get worse lol..
Marriage is being seen as less and less necessary. There are far more single parent households than there were even 5 years ago.
It will decrease... Most kids have seen their parents cheat and lie to each other so why would they get married? For the heart ache, to be lied to etc...
Good men are impossible to find for most women.
And when they do find one, they kick him out and act like he doesn't exists...
Probably decrease until they change the marriage laws where it’s actually equal
The same ie no change
Married in church night decrease
But shacking up... Why would that change?
It will continue decreasing because men have realized marriage no longer benefits them enough to justify the higher risk they face today.
Sadly, I'm pessimistic
Decrease probably
Increase probably.
I hope it increases.
decrease
I think that it will decrease...
Sorry to hijack the thread, but someone decided to hide behind the blocking option, and I shall fight back anyway.
@Chandelier8, I hope You realize that the statistics are of reported acts of violence, and men do not report acts of violence against themselves. Why? You might be familiar with the phrase: "Nobody will believe you, because you're a man". And the Amber a lot of people (including men) have Heard of is the product of hateful and vindictive feminism, and she has her mind clones all over the population. No sane man will take the risk, the Russian roulette is far less dangerous, as death is definitely not the worst that can happen to a man in the Western world these days. Oh, and by the way, Captain Johnny Depp is innocent, so He's not "shitty" by any means.
Sorry again, that might be the last one, unless someone continues to wage war on logic (and their own decisions).
@Chandelier8, thank You for proving my point about hateful and vindictive feminism. Luckily for You, You will likely not bear the consequences of Your attempt at defamation aimed at me, suggesting that I am a dangerous criminal, as I am unable to sue You due to us residing in different jurisdictions.
@CalmUntilAbused she have roasted herself and showed how much weak she is, she have received my answer and the i couldn't care less about her blocking me 🤣🤣
Actually i'm happy that i'm getting rid of people like her, makes things easier on me!
By the way, no worries about using my thread but in my opinion don't waste your time with such a mor*on, also might be a troll...
Oh, it's not about the person in question, it's more about those who will read the conversation and feel compelled to take a side. I know it first-hand that hatred is highly infectious, and the only potentially effective vaccine against it is a calm and collected analysis of the situation at hand.
Along with the amount of divorces
