Here’s Why Millennials are waiting longer to get married and spending less when they do

Millennials are waiting longer to get married and opting for simpler, smaller ceremonies and receptions once they do get hitched. Too much screen time and social awkwardness might have a small impact on this trend, but the real culprit is the rising cost and questionable value of higher education today.
