Yes, I'm blaming the government. For 45 years the government has been either intentionally or just as "unintended consequences" dismantling the family unit as part of the welfare state.
1960 - Birth control pill introduced helping women manage their reproductive years.
1965 - "Great Society" legislation makes the father less and less important to women and the need for financial security for poorer women comes more from the government.
1973 - Roe V Wade for those that can't or won't use birth control they simply end the child, I'm sorry the non-viable tissue matter.
As unwed mothers rise and the welfare state rewards those who are irresponsible there is no need for marriage. It is among the youth and the poor that this survey shows that pattern. Ironically, the only group who seems interesting in it are gay couples and for them it is just living a fantasy from their youth of being the bride.
