"Once a required rite of passage, seen as a genuine embodiment of shared values" (HARVARD MAGAZINE) marriage "now serves as a game-show prize on Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire or a booby prize on My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance." This article discusses the evolution of marriage, noting that "changing demographics, economics, and laws" have altered the "meaning of matrimony in America."
