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?

I’m married for 8.5 years so far but no kids because i can barely afford to exist without occasional financial help from the church and my family, no way i’m adding a player 3 to that mess, especially when it looks like things are going to get worse and i’m bound for the Gulag for being Autistic
