I agree. I think marriage is turning into something that is actually because people want it, and not because it’s a need or a requirement for survival. And that changes what an “ideal mate” is, in biological terms. It won’t look like it did when we were kids, because the rights and opportunities of people (women, LGBTQ, etc) don’t look like they did back then (nor 30 years before that). People actually have more freedom to choose (or not choose) marriage, or the relationships they want. Freedom for groups that historically didn’t have those choices is bound to change how people relate to each other… IMO the pros outweigh any cons or growing pains as we adjust to the new paradigm. I hope as a species we continue to evolve vs trying to hold onto the past where many humans were extremely limited in their opportunities.
