Poll: 4 in 10 Say Marriage Becoming Obsolete
A poll conducted by Time Magazine has shown that about 40% of Americans believe that marriage is becoming a thing of the past. This statistic does not necessarily mean that marriage will disappear; it can refer to different social changes. This new attitude has to do with the new views on gay marriage, unwed couples, and the definition of a family. People are starting to believe that people can create a "family" without having to get married, an idea that professor Andrew Cherlin from Johns Hopkins University states.
I don't think that marriage will ever vanish. However, new types of families are being introduced and gradually accepted. Families can be happy and successful without necessarily having two spouses.
