Looks like people are finally coming around to our side! Sociologist Susan Brown, co-director of the National Center for Family &amp; Marriage Research at Bowling Green State University, says she thinks the\u00a0 increase in never-marrieds is showing our collective realization that marriage isn&#8217;t mandatory.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;This speaks to a question researchers have been interested in \u2014 whether  marriage delayed is going to lead to marriage foregone,&#8221; she says. &#8220;We  know the age at first marriage is continuing to rise. Cohabitation is  continuing to increase in popularity. Marriage is something that is more  optional now and it&#8217;s also something increasingly people do later in  the life course.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We&#8217;ve been trying to say that for FOREVER and thought no one was listening, but I GUESS THEY WERE!
