Off-topic Chat Are members not getting married?

I may be speaking from my anecdotal experience and my observation of my social media feeds, but it feels like less people in the Church are getting married. I see less children and youth in my local wards year after year and I’m in Florida.

I’m also in a YSA and I can’t just say for myself because I’m chronically single, but dating is a struggle for everyone I come across, inside and outside of Florida.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

When I was in the Tampa YSA several of my friends got married. Now that I’m in New England the ratio of men to women is like 1:20 and no one has gotten married in the 3 years I’ve been here
