So you hope that white people take more family photos together? That really didn't answer my question when I asked for specifics.....could you give me actual specifics in the types of restrictions you are talking about?

Between 1950 and 2011 the US marriage rate fell "a stunning 66 percent," writes Stephanie Coontz in The New York Times. "If such a decline continued," she adds, "there would be no women getting married by 2043!" One presumes there would be no men getting married either, but that's of course if we're only talking heterosexual marriages. Now that DOMA has been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, and new states secure marriage rights for all year after year, it's hard to predict precisely how the US marriage rate will be affected in years to come. But the declining marriage rate in the US doesn't tell the whole truth about what's going on with marriage even among straight couples. "People are not giving up on marriage," Coontz says. "They are simply waiting longer to tie the knot. Because the rate of marriage is calculated by the percentage of adult women (over 15) who get married each year, the marriage rate automatically falls as the average age of marriage goes up. In 1960, the majority of women were already married before they could legally have a glass of Champagne at their own wedding."
I think a better thing to think about is this. What does this mean for society?

Actually, divorce rates have been rising as marriages rates have fallen.
