42. That is THE reason women married until quite recently

And, the reason some women still get married. It's not about being a "gold digger," but about society not allowing you to be financially secure.

Women are not interested in marriage at a much higher rate now than before, because they can now often afford to live on their own, even if they are living with a boyfriend (or girlfriend). Most man are still as interested in marriage as they have been, because economically it's the same as it has always been.
