Discuss the reasons young people are increasingly delaying marriage and choosing nonmarital options for living and relationships. What societal changes are these family changes associated with?
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. Changes in courtship and dating that have accompanied the worldwide increase in the status of women have led to a decrease in arranged marriages and increased individual choice of marriage partners. More women now can seek educational and economic advancement, which increases their choices.
2. These changes are associated with higher levels of education for both males and females.
3. These changes are partially explained by changing sexual behaviors and attitudes, especially increased acceptance of “premarital sex.” For a long time, sexual activity before marriage was referred to as “premarital” because it was assumed that the couple involved would be in a serious, committed relationship and intend to marry. Today a more precise term is “nonmarital sex” (i.e., sex not related to marriage), since some view sex as an appropriate conclusion to a first date, and still others “hook up” and do not even go as far as dating.
