Why are marriage and birth rates falling among Latter-day Saints young adults? Sure, culture plays a role, but there's one source you might not have thought of before: parents. About 10 years ago, BYU professors started polling their students about their barriers in dating and marriage. They've noticed a sizable shift in the answers over the past 10 years: parents urging their kids to delay marriage. Many couples visit them in their offices, saying: "We're in love, we can't stand being apart, we've even prayed about it many times and we feel so good about it, but our parents are saying no. And they don't even have a great reason for no other than 'we just need to wait.'" One professor asks his class to "raise your hand if your parents have incentivized you to NOT get married." And "it's pretty consistently about a third of them" and "it's a higher percentage of women than men." Somewhere along the line, in our desire to make sure our kids had a realistic picture of marriage, we also stopped teaching the blessings and duty of marriage like we once did. Interview with the BYU professors below. Great resource. This whole series on the Family Proclamation is amazing 👇 youtu.be/zjlRtG2Dxdw

@the_jake_bastow No, it's providing capital for someone to create something new that benefits everyone. It doesn't always work out in individual cases, which is why you should diversify.

@defense_of_fam I've heard it said that it encourages women to abandon the best qualities of women and adopt the worst qualities of men.

@ITalkOfChrist I know two young people who came out as gay a few years back and then just sort of stopped talking about it and date the opposite sex now.
