Marriage delayed

The econony is part of the reason, but social attitudes, in particular, the ideal of perfection rather than vocation, makes marriage a goal in itself instead of the means of perfection, holiness, and healthy life.

UPDATE: Leave it to government policies to be a major part of the problem, namely, that zoning and land-use laws make multi-generational housing arrangements far more difficult. We have atomized the nuclear family in suburbia and isolated the grandparents and single adult children.
