Pearl - Is Marriage in the UK increasing instead of decreasing？

00:00:00.000 question I have is around marriage do you think that because marriage is kind

00:00:04.680 of disappearing in my generation like under 30 I think only 20% of us get

00:00:09.780 married which is very different is that the worldwide statistics only because I

00:00:13.800 know a lot of young people have turned the tide and they actually really do

00:00:16.940 believe in getting married I've been to plenty of young weddings yeah not in

00:00:21.420 America I don't know off the top of my head here just in America I was a new

00:00:26.320 survey that came out i would agree with you that about 10 20 years ago that was absolutely the

00:00:31.040 case but it seems to be resurging well there is um kind of a thought process online saying that

00:00:37.480 there's nothing that either gender gets out of marriage do you think that's true do you think

00:00:41.420 that's untrue i suppose i i wouldn't gender genderize it for me it's about um uh a couple

00:00:50.480 might want that to be their next step in their relationship they want to make that commitment

00:00:55.160 to each other, and by going through the marriage ceremony, some believe that they make that

00:01:00.260 commitment more strong.
