Having a good education and a good career contributes to not having enough time for relationships and marriage. Women, who were once considered the property of their husbands, now no longer need a man to support them and are able to fend for themselves. Media has evolved and now influences our lives. We pay more attention to our devices than our partners, and if media continues to improve we can expect it to take over our relationships even more. Finally, because many of us have seen so many marriages end in divorce, we can't help but be afraid of getting married. Marriage is declining and if we don't change these things it will continue to decline until it is no longer a normal thing to do when you are married.
