I keep hearing news reports that less than half of all adults ever get married and that marriage is no longer the norm.

That completely conflicts with my personal experience. I attend 3-4 weddings a year and most of my friends are married or planning on getting married. No one in my circle of friends or family is in a long-term relationship and doesn't plan on getting married. No one in my circle of friends or family has had a kid our of wedlock.

My question is this, in your circle of friends and family, is marriage the norm or the exception?
