“The kids of the Millennial Generation are far more keen on the titles of Mom and Dad than Husband and Wife.
According to a study conducted by the Pew Research Center, 52 percent of Millennials cited being a good parent as “one of the most important things in life.” Only 30 percent thought the same about having a successful marriage — a glaring 22 percent gap among the 18 to 29-year-olds.
Back in 1997 when the same age group, Generation X, was broached on these subjects, 42 percent placed a high value on parenthood and 35 percent said marriage was important. So, as time has gone on, young adults are putting more emphasis on raising a family, but not necessarily on tying the knot.
According to this recent research, Millennials are less likely than adults over 30 to think children can’t grow up happily in a one-parent household, or that single parenthood is a bad idea.”
