The marriage rate is at its lowest point in more than a century, and the number of marriages across the USA fell more than 5% during the recession. But a new analysis projects that pent-up demand and the large population of marriage-eligible Millennials, ages 18-34, means more will be headed to the altar over the next two years.

Cultural changes about whether and when to marry, the fact that two-thirds of first marriages are preceded by cohabitation and the recession’s financial fallout — including unemployment and underemployment — fueled the wedding decline. Projections from the private company Demographic Intelligence of Charlottesville, Va., says the signs are right for a temporary boost in weddings.

  • Of course, men have been kicked in the head long enough and have wised up. The government and the feminista’s have plotted against men for 60 years to the point the minute a man says ‘I do’, he is screwed, blued, and tatooed; immediately demoted to a second class citizen in his own home, with little rights, no say, and the fear of divorce hanging over his head 24 hours a day. When divorce does come, she gets the house, the kids, and the happy go lucky life. He gets the shaft. Women have little or no incentive to do her part to keep the marriage intact and flourishing; more financial incentive for her to bail. The truth hurts, that’s why they call it the truth.
