People are waiting longer to get into a relationship because they're so occupied with working on their career and hobbies/interests that they're content either permanently being single, or for the time being.
Many women are finding that what they've been taught to dream is not what they really care about. Men have faded in importance, and in many cases have disappeared entirely.
I never dreamed that I would have a husband; I certainly never cared about it happening or not. Most women these days I encounter are much the same. It's just an old fashioned way to do things. If you want to get married and for some reason you want children, that's certainly available. But what a boring life! To never accomplish anything personally? I'd rather have my equity and career. Maybe some day marriage.
There are more options available for women these days to do other things with their lives other than being a mother. Access to education, jobs, finance, travel. ect.
It's great that the options are now there but i still value relationships, not any more than anything else, its just on a different level of its own.
In today's world though it seems so hard to have a great relationship plus all the rest...
Definitely a lot more technology being used to date! (ie. texting/sexting, online dating, social networking) I'm not really sure if that necessarily turned out to be for the better or for the worse though...
The biggest change came with women's lib and the birth control pill in the 70s. This gave women choice and freedom.
