Marriage is getting a generational face-lift.
The reasons are many.
Often the children of divorce themselves, millennials tend to fear going through one. So they're being strategic when it comes to love. They're taking more time to find the right partner, cohabitating before legally committing, and signing prenups to protect their assets. As a result, they're bringing the divorce rate down.
Many millennials are also delaying marriage for economic reasons — burdened with financial struggles like debt, they want to become financially successful first. And as more couples come together from different cultural or religious backgrounds, they're more likely to pay for multiple ceremonies.
But that's for those millennials who do marry — the generation is also helping to bring the marriage rate down.
