Part 15/17:

Blame shifted onto youth or their attitudes misses the core problem: the entire system that once made marriage a rational choice has been broken. Fixing this would require not just individual effort but systemic reforms—affordable housing, debt forgiveness, real education on relationship skills, reformed legal structures to minimize financial risks, and cultural shifts away from unrealistic romantic ideals.

Moving Toward Solutions

Changing the narrative involves rethinking what marriage should be in the modern era. Instead of expecting young people to conform to outdated models, society must address the underlying issues:

• Making housing affordable for young adults.

• Reducing or forgiving student debt.

• Updating legal frameworks to reduce divorce-related financial risks.
