made me think and posted my comments tooo..
having lived in western world some years now - marriage is viewed as a level of commitment. Seriously, no one taking that road until they live with the person for a few years... attitude is : If it doesn't feel right, don't do it. no one is in rush (may be some women due to body clock pressure) and totally cool to be single... instead of regret it later.
in general - i guess reason may be :
- from the time we're tiny, we're taught that we're going to grow up and get married. We actually have conditioned ourselves to believe that we are not a success in this life unless we do find that one perfect person and marry. It's the fad of this millenium.. next one, no one will marry!
- Because society tells us that if you are not married, you are NOT NORMAL, and something is WRONG WITH YOU! There is a social stigma associated with not being married.
