It is not necessarily a fear of commitment or of 'going to the next level', but an acute awareness of the effects of marriage on our modern society. Divorce rates are on the rise, as are the rates of cohabitation.

More and more people are choosing to live with their partner and maintain separate financial portfolios. They're not planning for failure, but they're staying prepared for it. No more fighting over debt, or paying off what your ex can't. No alimony, and NO DIVORCE LAWYERS!

In Canada, the statistic is that for the same work occupation, women make 15% less on average than men. Of course that doesn't take into account the concentration of wealth in the top 10% and top 1%, that is almost exclusively male-owned. Lower down the social structure, there may be more pay equity.

Sorry for the rant, but it couldn't be helped. ;) It was interesting to hear another person's views on things, so thanks for sharing!

One thing to consider, though, the book you were reading from is roughly 30 years old, and even the new editions keep some antiquated knowledge. Statistics show what people are doing, but not WHY they're doing it. I would suggest that people split up so much because we're not meant to have single life-long partnerships. We're more suited towards serial monogamy.

[Ibbick]

You suggest that people cannot be committed without being married, and I respectfully but completely disagree. I don't need a document to tell me how I feel about someone, and I certainly think I'm capable of making a long-term commitment without signing said document.

On a practical note, cohabitation lets you see another side of your future (possible) spouse. Citing the difference between friends and family, people form a different dynamic with others when forced to live with them.

Lobbyists use statistics that benefit them, and bury/ignore those that don't. They get away with it because the concept of Men's Rights is usually considered a joke. A feminist minority has convinced an entire country that sexism (selective employment) is widespread. Not true. While there are certainly still divisions of thought between men and women, these are virtually nonexistent in the workplace. Sexual harassment suits, fear of false rape accusations and media hype have taken care of that.

[Ibbick]

The statistics are skewed. Men and women who have recently started the same job at the same time are being paid the same. More and more women are joining the full-time workforce, and I'm pretty sure women now outnumber men in college enrollment.

It will take time for these current trends to be reflected in the statistics.. men (professors, for example) who have been working for the past 40 years outnumber the women who have been working as professors for the past 40 years. Just an example.

I find it funny that someone who is so inclined to sociology can still be persuaded so easily by social stimulis.Are you honestly that uncomfortable being seen wearing a helmet that when the law was inacted you wouldn`t ride a bike?

i think women should do what they're best at: making babies, take care of the house and husband, understand what husband goes through in the outside world, do not mouth off with husband, do not nag, and many more. of course we need women to be doctors, teachers but not secretary for the exec. officer. hey, i'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings. i think women have a little too much freedom nowadays.
