I did a tally of all my friends that are of an age that marriage is an option. 55% are married and 45% are single. These are friends that I have had since childhood, so it is not a case of finding /meeting friends in similar situations.
Several of the married friends are very much unhappy but won't divorce. I still counted them as married though. Maybe marriage is something that is going by the wayside.

Perhaps in your circle. I wouldn't make the leap from your small, localized sample to a general statement about marriage though.
Yeah, I still don't think that the results from your sample group can be used as the basis for the general statement that marriage is going by the wayside.

Hahah...what a silly thing the OP is! So what's the age span, SES, educational span, etc.?

How many people are in the tally? I bet the number of people is not statistically significant enough to draw a meaningful conclusion.

Age 20-70. All different educational backgrounds.
