Don`t blame it on the economy ! Nobody wants to be responsible for another person .You can have all kinds of economical studies and you learn nothing from them.What I have noticed ,is that our society has become VERY SELFISH ! Everybody seeks " THEIR " "SPACE" ! No more sharing a life ! No law says you have to have a"WHITE WEDDING" ! Save your money,marry by court, rent a hall,and have a potluck meal !The important thing is to make the love you want to share together last a lifetime !!
