It’s 2018 and less women than ever are getting married. Don’t feel sorry for us – we’re busy being amazing at self-care and getting degrees, and breaking the glass ceiling. Here are the top reasons why more women aren’t getting hitched, nowadays.

1. If their dude has a smaller checking account than them. Why drain your hard work and energy on a scrub just for the wifey title?

2. Most guys just aren’t’ marriage-worthy nowadays. And even if they seem like a good catch, why make the possibility of a breakup so much more complicated with marriage?

3. It’s an outdated and conventional concept that not everyone needs to subscribe to.
