Survey data suggests more and more girls can’t imagine getting married, while their male counterparts are keener. That disparity holds a clue According to recent data, marriages in England and Wales are down by nearly 9% after a post-pandemic spike, while civil partnerships have risen by almost the same percentage. This downward trend is also reflected in the US .

Naoise Dolan is an Irish writer and the author of Exciting Times and The Happy Couple Continue reading...
