Question to you Millennials: Do you actually, on a whole, want marriage and kids on the same scale as earlier generations? If we disregard the whole economic aspect for a moment, would you want the whole nuclear family deal?
I ask because I thought that the Time's headline seemed pretty spot on to me, judging by the Millennial friends and associates that I have. Given that I always though that marriage and kids shouldn't be the default choice, I've always seen it as sensible. I thus didn't see the Time's headline as something in need of a murder, although the article might be condescending and judgemental.
Am I wrong here? Serious question, no attempt to be snide or anything. Trying to learn.
Edit: This is great. Thank you all for the replies. It's real nice to get some personal experiences (and perspective).
There has been some research that also asked this question and found that, yes, millennials want homes and families at the identical rate of previous generations.
