Given the recent release of census data indicating that the number of people between the ages of 25 -34 who were not married exceeded those who were married in 2009 for the first time since we've been keeping track of such things in the U.S., some have suggested that perhaps young women are less interested in marriage. I'm not at all certain that this reason is a key contributor to the decline in marriage, but what if it was? Do young women have a good reason to embrace romantic relationships, but avoid marriage? Is Sex and the City the new norm for young women? What benefits, if any, ensue for married women other than a husband, two kids, a minivan and soccer on the weekends? -->
