Married but Independent

Öylece gezinirken USAToday'de bir yazı ilgimi çekti. Dün de evlilik falan demişken, burada kayıt altına alalım dedim.

Andrew Cherlin nam sosyolog ağabeyimiz şöyle demiş:

"In Europe, what people really care about is not the marriage rate but the birth rate. People in Europe have long been concerned about having enough children to field an army and defend themselves. Here, we've never worried about how many children — in part because we're a nation of immigrants and we can afford as many as we like. In contrast, what has mattered here is marriage. The battle over same-sex marriage is bigger here than most other wealthy countries. The reason is everyone cares more about marriage here."

Hangi Avrupa lan bu? Abi bizi Avrupa'dan sayıyor. Hükümet başarmış(!)
