Do you think the amount of people getting married will increase or decrease in the next ten years?

Increase

Decrease

[BrownSugar00]

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.

[BrownSugar00]

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!

[purplepoppy]

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.

[Unit1]

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.

[Shiningtempest]

@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.

[Avicenna]

There's no reason to think it will increase

[BrownSugar00]

True, especially nowadays

[Avicenna]

@BrownSugar00 Yup...

[electromagnetic]

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.

[sage2021]

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!

[TonyMetal___86]

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...

[CalmUntilAbused]

@TonyMetal___86

I couldn't have put it better.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

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.

[molonski2]

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 !

[HighValue]

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.

[HawkPerception]

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:

[msc545]

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.

[Raaj4you]

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.

[sage2021]

Raaj4you
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]

@sage2021 Oh, I see. Yes, migrants can make the babies and save US from population decline.

[sage2021]

@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".

[Raaj4you]

@sage2021 Yes, you have to work, you like it or not. Do you have kids?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

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

[CalmUntilAbused]

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.

[petitedollbabee]

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.

[postaldudePL123]

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.

[Chandelier8]

Younger women just aren't having the misogyny so it will decrease unless more men wake up and start being better people.

[TonyMetal___86]

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...

[Chandelier8]

@TonyMetal___86 Thanks for proving my point. Blocked.

[CalmUntilAbused]

@TonyMetal___86

Whoa, that was quite the roast, but I couldn't agree more.

[Chandelier8]

@CalmUntilAbused A roast, how so? Was an evidence given or just simply a misogynistic opinion from someone low IQ?

[Chandelier8]

any*

[CalmUntilAbused]

@chandelier8

Do You really need proof? I'll give You proof. Ever Heard of a certain Amber?

[Chandelier8]

@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.

[Chandelier8]

@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.

[IslaTheWitch]

It depends mostly on whether the marriage will be needed for anything. For now, it is not, maybe for taxes. So why bother?

[BoobMan]

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.

[GreenLanternI0I]

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.

[bolverk]

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.

[LiamJHayden]

Decrease. There are no real incentives to marry, and a lot of danger if you have assets and earn a decent amount.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

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.
