We know that Millennials are marrying later in life than previous generations, but a new study from the journal Emerging Adulthood has shed some more light on the emotional reasons that might be. The research takes a deeper look into college students’ views on the institution, dividing 571 students at a public university in the Midwest into three different categories: “enthusiasts,” “hesitants,” and “delayers.” A full 58% fell into the “hesitants” category, a group that ”appeared to value marriage and expect to marry but were more hesitant about the permanence of marriage and expect to marry later than what they thought would be ideal.” (NYMag)
