Marriage survey
I think the results of this survey are quite interesting. I heard them discussing it on NPR yesterday, and then my friend Stessa posted this link on FB today:
http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2010/12/06/high-school-graduates-losing-faith-in-marriage/
I must admit that I object to the inflammatory title of this article (but what do you expect from the WSJ when it comes to reporting on "family values" issues?) Compare theirs to the much more neutral NPR title:
http://www.npr.org/2010/12/06/131853955/young-families-delay-marriage-not-parenthood
More importantly, the title is misleading - there's no evidence that people are losing "faith" in marriage - economic factors are the major influence in these trends.
