Why do 39% of Americans think marriage is obsolete?

A Pew Research Center Report finds that 39% of Americans believe that it is. The notion that marriage is obsolete is growing fastest amongst those with the least education. Only college-educated folks still believe in marriage at rates close to those in 1990.

Despite that, two-thirds of Americans are optimistic about marriage. Oh my god, there are so many interesting findings in this study. I encourage you to click on the link and look through it.

What do you think is going on with the changes in Americans attitudes about marriage and family? Do you, personally, think marriage is obsolete? Do you care if you get married? Would you be willing to be a single parent?

What does this mean? Is it a good thing or a bad thing in your opinion?
