About 74% of American adults say changes in social norms have made marriage less appealing to younger generations, according to a survey conducted for a Muslim advocacy group.
What’s more, two-thirds of those surveyed say that a decreasing commitment to marriage will spur a rise in divorce.
In addition, 69% of respondents said “religion is important in upholding traditional family values.” Those between 35 and 44 years old and those 55 and older were more likely to agree, compared to those aged 18-34 and 45-54 .Dr. Ansari, a Maryland pediatrician, says there is reason for hope in discerning the negative outlook for traditional family formation and values.
Dr. Ansari said only 1% of survey respondents identified as Muslim, a percentage that “is pretty much the demographic of American society” and renders the results “a general population survey.”
